ruby - UNIXSocket .connect() but don't have full path to socket -

this networks project i'm working on. requires simulate bridge. sockets become ports basically.

but told in order unixsocket work needs full path socket , don't know full path is.

is there anyway around this?

  s = unixsocket.new(sock_seqpacket)   s.connect(padder(lan_one[i])) 

the part thats going wrong padder(lan_one[i]). padder pads "port" until 108 characters long. anyways because "port" made doesn't exist anywhere. therefore can't path it.

i don't know full path is.

you specify path constructor argument. in other words, path is. opening socket way creates actual file on file system if there isn't 1 already, , fails (or should do) if cannot create file, such because file specified name exists, or because directory segment of specified path not exist.

the part thats going wrong padder(lan_one[i]). padder pads "port" until 108 characters long. anyways because "port" made doesn't exist anywhere. therefore can't path it.

it's unclear me how should proceed. unix-domain sockets don't have ports, per se, , certainly, cannot connect socket not exist. simulate ports paths, though. example, use paths of general form:

/base/dir/application/port 

do note there system-specific limit on how long names of unix-domain sockets can be.
