Creation of server sockets with AF_UNIX SOCK_SEQPACKET type

[peter-rebyte]

Hi, I've been trying to create a server socket that will listen and accept connections on the socket type as given in the title but have been running into some issues. I'm not sure this is supported today? It seems like maybe I could wrestle myself out of it by using raw fds but that seems a bit heavy handed. Is there something I'm missing?

SOCK_SEQPACKET behaves more like SOCK_DGRAM; it's packet-based but unlike DGRAM the order is guaranteed.

Can you try AFUNIXDatagramSocket.newInstance(AFSocketType.SOCK_SEQPACKET), then bind (for the server) or connect (for the client)? If you want to use DatagramChannels, you can get them via getChannel()

Thans for the response, that's about where I was but I can't find a method that calls accept()?

[kohlschuetter]

Yeah, that looks like it's not implemented yet :-D
I will put something together, hang in there!

[kohlschuetter]

OK, please try latest from main (2.8.3-SNAPSHOT).

In commit 5d178b0, I've added the necessary support for listen/accept.

See junixsocket-common/src/test/java/org/newsclub/net/unix/domain/DatagramSocketTest.java for an example how to use it. Please let me know how it goes!
