If type is G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_PATH, this is equivalent to
calling UnixSocketAddress.new.
If type is G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ANONYMOUS, path and path_len will be
ignored.
If path_type is G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT, then path_len
bytes of path will be copied to the socket's path, and only those
bytes will be considered part of the name. (If path_len is -1,
then path is assumed to be NUL-terminated.) For example, if path
was "test", then calling Socket.addressGetNativeSize on the
returned socket would return 7 (2 bytes of overhead, 1 byte for the
abstract-socket indicator byte, and 4 bytes for the name "test").
If path_type is G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT_PADDED, then
path_len bytes of path will be copied to the socket's path, the
rest of the path will be padded with 0 bytes, and the entire
zero-padded buffer will be considered the name. (As above, if
path_len is -1, then path is assumed to be NUL-terminated.) In
this case, Socket.addressGetNativeSize will always return
the full size of a struct sockaddr_un, although
UnixSocketAddress.getPathLen will still return just the
length of path.
G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT is preferred over
G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT_PADDED for new programs. Of course,
when connecting to a server created by another process, you must
use the appropriate type corresponding to how that process created
its listening socket.
Creates a new gio.UnixSocketAddress of type type with name path.
