+.SH NAME
+sys/un.h \- definitions for UNIX domain sockets
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <sys/un.h>\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fI<sys/un.h>\fP header shall define the \fBsockaddr_un\fP structure
+that includes at least the following
+members:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fBsa_family_t sun_family \fP Address family. \fB
+char sun_path[] \fP Socket pathname. \fB
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.LP
+The \fBsockaddr_un\fP structure is used to store addresses for UNIX
+domain sockets. Values of this type shall be cast by
+applications to \fBstruct sockaddr\fP for use with socket functions.
+.LP
+The \fBsa_family_t\fP type shall be defined as described in \fI<sys/socket.h>\fP
+\&.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+The size of \fIsun_path\fP 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.
+.LP
+Applications should not assume a particular length for \fIsun_path\fP
+or assume that it can hold {_POSIX_PATH_MAX} characters
+(255).
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
