CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET(3) 			     curl_easy_setopt options				   CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET - set an abstract Unix domain socket

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET, char *path);

DESCRIPTION

       Enables the use of an abstract Unix domain socket instead of establishing a TCP connection to a host. The parameter should be a char * to a
       zero terminated string holding the path of the socket. The path will be set to path prefixed by a NULL byte (this  is  the  convention  for
       abstract sockets, however it should be stressed that the path passed to this function should not contain a leading NULL).

       On non-supporting platforms, the abstract address will be interpreted as an empty string and fail gracefully, generating a run-time error.

       This  option  shares  the same semantics as CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH(3) in which documentation more details can be found. Internally, these
       two options share the same storage and therefore only one of them can be set per handle.

DEFAULT

       Default is NULL.

EXAMPLE

	   curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET, "/tmp/foo.sock");
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/");

AVAILABILITY

       Since 7.53.0.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
