The functionality of the socket system variable is extended
here such that a preciding '@' indicates that the socket
will be an abstract socket. Thie socket name wil be
the remainder of the name after the '@'. This is consistent
with the approached used by systemd in socket activation.
Thanks to Sergey Vojtovich:
On OS X sockaddr_un is defined as:
struct sockaddr_un
{
u_char sun_len;
u_char sun_family;
char sun_path[104];
};
There is a comment in man 7 unix (on linux):
"
On Linux, the above offsetof() expression equates to the same value as sizeof(sa_family_t),
but some other implementations include other fields before sun_path, so the offsetof()
expression more portably describes the size of the address structure.
"
As such, use the offsetof for Linux and use the previous sizeof(UNIXaddr)
for non-unix platforms as that's what worked before and they don't
support abstract sockets so there's no compatibility problem..
