unix domain socket
unix domain socket 是在socket架构上发展起来的用于同一台主机的进程间通讯(IPC: Inter-Process Communication),它不需要经过网络协议栈,不需要打包拆包、计算校验和、维护序号和应答等,只是将应用层数据从一个进程拷贝到另一个进程。UNIX Domain Socket有SOCK_DGRAM或SOCK_STREAM两种工作模式,类似于UDP和TCP,但是面向消息的UNIX Domain Socket也是可靠的,消息既不会丢失也不会顺序错乱。
UNIX Domain Socket可用于两个没有亲缘关系的进程,是全双工的,是目前使用最广泛的IPC机制,比如X Window服务器和GUI程序之间就是通过UNIX Domain Socket通讯的。
UNIX Domain socket与网络socket类似,可以与网络socket对比应用。
上述二者编程的不同如下:
address family为AF_UNIX
因为应用于IPC,所以UNIXDomain socket不需要IP和端口,取而代之的是文件路径来表示“网络地址”。这点体现在下面两个方面。
地址格式不同,UNIXDomain socket用结构体sockaddr_un表示,是一个socket类型的文件在文件系统中的路径,这个socket文件由bind()调用创建,如果调用bind()时该文件已存在,则bind()错误返回。
UNIX Domain Socket客户端一般要显式调用bind函数,而不象网络socket一样依赖系统自动分配的地址。客户端bind的socket文件名可以包含客户端的pid,这样服务器就可以区分不同的客户端。
下面用python代码演示uds的使用

客户端一次发送,服务端分批返回。
服务端输出结果如下
root@ubuntu:~/PycharmProjects/python_scripts# python socket_echo_server_uds.py
starting up on ./uds_socket
waiting for a connection
('connection from', '')
received 'This is the mess'
sending data back to the client
received 'age. It will be'
sending data back to the client
received ' repeated.'
sending data back to the client
received ''
('no data from', '')
waiting for a connection
客户端输出结果如下
root@ubuntu:~/PycharmProjects/python_scripts# python socket_echo_client_uds.py
connecting to ./uds_socket
sending 'This is the message. It will be repeated.'
received 'This is the mess'
received 'age. It will be'
received ' repeated.'
closing socket
查看套接字文件的类型如下
root@ubuntu:~/PycharmProjects/python_scripts# ls -l ./uds_socket
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Dec 11 13:45 ./uds_socket
可见uds文件是socket类型。具体的linux文件类型有以下几种:
