Part of twisted.internet View Source

Class Server Undocumented
Class Port No class docstring; 1/5 methods documented
Class Client A client for Unix sockets.
Class Connector Undocumented
Class DatagramPort Datagram UNIX port, listening for packets.
Class ConnectedDatagramPort A connected datagram UNIX socket.
Function _inFilesystemNamespace Determine whether the given unix socket path is in a filesystem namespace.
Class _UNIXPort No class docstring; 1/1 methods documented
def _inFilesystemNamespace(path): (source)

Determine whether the given unix socket path is in a filesystem namespace.

While most PF_UNIX sockets are entries in the filesystem, Linux 2.2 and above support PF_UNIX sockets in an "abstract namespace" that does not correspond to any path. This function returns True if the given socket path is stored in the filesystem and False if the path is in this abstract namespace.
