Class UnixDomainSocketAddress

java.lang.Object

java.net.SocketAddress

java.net.UnixDomainSocketAddress

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

public final class UnixDomainSocketAddress extends SocketAddress

A Unix domain socket address. A Unix domain socket address encapsulates a file-system path that Unix domain sockets bind or connect to.

An unnamed UnixDomainSocketAddress has an empty path. The local address of a SocketChannel to a Unix domain socket that is automatically or implicitly bound will be unnamed.

Path objects used to create instances of this class must be obtained from the system-default file system.

Method Details

of

public static UnixDomainSocketAddress of(String pathname)

Creates a UnixDomainSocketAddress from the given path string.

Parameters:: pathname - The path string, which can be empty
Returns:: A UnixDomainSocketAddress
Throws:: InvalidPathException - If the path cannot be converted to a Path; NullPointerException - if pathname is null

of

public static UnixDomainSocketAddress of(Path path)

Creates a UnixDomainSocketAddress for the given path.

Parameters:: path - The path to the socket, which can be empty
Returns:: A UnixDomainSocketAddress
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - If the path is not associated with the default file system; NullPointerException - if path is null

getPath

public Path getPath()

Returns this address's path.

Returns:: this address's path

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code of this UnixDomainSocketAddress

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object

See Also:

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compares this address with another object.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if the path fields are equal

See Also:

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this UnixDomainSocketAddress.

Overrides:: toString in class Object
Returns:: this address's path which may be empty for an unnamed address
