The change to use sys/un.h is fairly trivial but I was using the UNIX_PATH_MAX
definition.
Is there any reason this isn't defined in glibc? are there any reservations from adding it?
I don't think it is in any standard.
UNIX_PATH_MAX is also a misnomer, it's just the size of the defined
array in struct sockaddr_un. The actual kernel limit is somewhere
around PATH_MAX.
Thanks,
