anthony shaw <anthonys...@apache.org> added the comment: thanks, your code example zero-pads the socket address, and looking at the socketmodule.c code it does some padding under certain circumstances.
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Modules/socketmodule.c#L1318-L1330 The Unix man page specify the same requirement you've noticed: When binding a socket to a pathname, a few rules should be observed for maximum portability and ease of coding: * The pathname in sun_path should be null-terminated. * The length of the pathname, including the terminating null byte, should not exceed the size of sun_path. * The addrlen argument that describes the enclosing sockaddr_un structure should have a value of at least: offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path)+strlen(addr.sun_path)+1 or, more simply, addrlen can be specified as sizeof(struct sock‐ addr_un). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue25541> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
