CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET(3)     libcurl    CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET - abstract Unix domain socket


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET,
                                 char *path);


DESCRIPTION

       Enables the use of an abstract Unix domain socket instead of
       establishing a TCP connection to a host. The parameter should be a char
       * to a null-terminated string holding the path of the socket. The path
       will be set to path prefixed by a NULL byte (this is the convention for
       abstract sockets, however it should be stressed that the path passed to
       this function should not contain a leading NULL).

       On non-supporting platforms, the abstract address will be interpreted
       as an empty string and fail gracefully, generating a runtime error.

       This option shares the same semantics as CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH(3) in
       which documentation more details can be found. Internally, these two
       options share the same storage and therefore only one of them can be
       set per handle.


DEFAULT

       Default is NULL.


PROTOCOLS

       All


EXAMPLE

         curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET, "/tmp/foo.sock");

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.53.0.


RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
       if not.
