## Initialization methods.

    ACE_UNIX_Addr (void);

Default constructor.

    ACE_UNIX_Addr (const ACE_UNIX_Addr &sa);

Copy constructor.

    ACE_UNIX_Addr (const char rendezvous_point[]);

Creates an ACE_UNIX_Addr from a string.

    ACE_UNIX_Addr (const sockaddr_un *, int len);

Creates an ACE_INET_Addr from a sockaddr_un structure.

    int set (const ACE_UNIX_Addr &sa);

Creates an ACE_UNIX_Addr from another `ACE_UNIX_Addr`.

    int set (const char rendezvous_point[]);

Creates an ACE_UNIX_Addr from a string.

    int set (const sockaddr_un *, int len);

Creates an ACE_UNIX_Addr from a sockaddr_un structure.

    virtual void *get_addr (void) const;

Return a pointer to the underlying network address.

    virtual void set_addr (void *addr, int len);

Set a pointer to the underlying network address.

    virtual int addr_to_string (char addr[], size_t) const;

Transform the current address into string format.

    virtual int string_to_addr (const char addr[]);

Transform the string into the current addressing format.

    int operator == (const ACE_UNIX_Addr &SAP) const;

Compare two addresses for equality.

    int operator != (const ACE_UNIX_Addr &SAP) const;

Compare two addresses for inequality.

    const char *get_path_name (void) const;

Return the path name of the underlying rendezvous point.

    virtual u_long hash (void) const;

Computes and returns hash value.

    void dump (void) const;

Dump the state of an object.

    ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.
