+.SH NAME
+sys/un.h
+\(em definitions for UNIX domain sockets
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <sys/un.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.IR <sys/un.h>
+header shall define the
+.BR sockaddr_un
+structure, which shall include at least the following members:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+sa_family_t sun_family \fRAddress family.\fR
+char sun_path[] \fRSocket pathname.\fR
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+The
+.BR sockaddr_un
+structure is used to store addresses for UNIX domain sockets.
+Pointers to this type shall be cast by applications to
+.BR "struct sockaddr *"
+for use with socket functions.
+.P
+The
+.IR <sys/un.h>
+header shall define the
+.BR sa_family_t
+type as described in
+.IR <sys/socket.h> .
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The size of
+.IR sun_path
+has intentionally been left undefined. This is because different
+implementations use different sizes. For example, 4.3 BSD uses a size of
+108, and 4.4 BSD uses a size of 104. Since most implementations
+originate from BSD versions, the size is typically in the range 92 to
+108.
+.P
+Applications should not assume a particular length for
+.IR sun_path
+or assume that it can hold
+{_POSIX_PATH_MAX}
+bytes (256).
+.P
+Although applications are required to initialize all members
+(including any non-standard ones) of a
+.BR sockaddr_in6
+structure (see
+.IR "\fB<netinet_in.h>\fP"),
+the same is not required for the
+.BR sockaddr_un
+structure, since historically many applications only initialized
+the standard members. Despite this, applications are encouraged
+to initialize
+.BR sockaddr_un
+structures in a manner similar to the required initialization of
+.BR sockaddr_in6
+structures.
+.SH "RATIONALE"
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
