GioUnixSocketAddressType

Description
The type of name used by a GUnixSocketAddress.
G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_PATH indicates a traditional unix domain
socket bound to a filesystem path. G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ANONYMOUS
indicates a socket not bound to any name (eg, a client-side socket,
or a socket created with socketpair()).
For abstract sockets, there are two incompatible ways of naming
them; the man pages suggest using the entire struct sockaddr_un
as the name, padding the unused parts of the %sun_path field with
zeroes; this corresponds to G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT_PADDED.
However, many programs instead just use a portion of %sun_path, and
pass an appropriate smaller length to bind() or connect(). This is
G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT.
