| Summary | 0001605: bind: AF_UNIX: extend EADDRINUSE description beyond "symbolic link" | ||||
| Description | bind(2) fails for AF_UNIX sockets if the desired name (path) already exists, regardless of the file type. I'd presume the symbolic link case is already mentioned due to "following is forbidden" policies. | ||||
| Desired Action | On page 626, line 21642ff change If the address family of the socket is AF_UNIX and the pathname in address names a symbolic link, bind( ) shall fail and set errno to [EADDRINUSE]. to If the address family of the socket is AF_UNIX and the pathname in address names an existing file, including a symbolic link, bind( ) shall fail and set errno to [EADDRINUSE]. | ||||

It seems odd to have this error specified in DESCRIPTION instead of ERRORS. I think the intention was that the existing generic EADDRINUSE entry in ERRORS ("The specified address is already in use") covered most file-exists cases for AF_UNIX and only the symbolic link case needed special mention. A better solution would be to spell out how the two relate. I'd suggest changing: If the address family of the socket is AF_UNIX and the pathname in address names a symbolic link, bind() shall fail and set errno to [EADDRINUSE].to: If the address family of the socket is AF_UNIX and the pathname in address names an existing file, including a symbolic link, bind() shall treat the address as already in use; see ERRORS below. |
