get_sockdir


Description:

[ Version ( since = "1.33.8" ) ]
public string get_sockdir () throws Error

get the temporary directory for sockets

Get the directory used by the handle to store temporary socket files.

This is different from guestfs_session_tmpdir, as we need shorter paths for sockets (due to the limited buffers of filenames for UNIX sockets), and guestfs_session_tmpdir may be too long for them.

The environment variable XDG_RUNTIME_DIR controls the default value: If XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set, then that is the default. Else /tmp is the default.

Parameters:

this

A GuestfsSession object

Returns:

the returned string, or NULL on error
