Socket address to pathname translation -------------------------------------------------------- When socket address is submitted to sysmask for access control check, the address is translated to the unix pathname syntax then checked in the same way as for other pathnames. The translated pathname is as follows. /request/protocol/address Where request corresponds to the nature of the system call, and is one of the following: bind listen accept connect setsockopt send and the protocol is one of the following: tcp udp ipv4 (raw ip socket) local (local unix domain socket) For local protocol, the address is the unix pathname of the socket, or empty if the socket is unnamed. For tcp and udp protocol, the address is the as follows ip1.ip2.ip3.ip4/port And for ipv4, only the ip address is present. For example, the following corresponds to a http connection request to localhost. /connect/tcp/127.0.0.1/80
