- When a socket is opened by the D-Bus library it truncates the path
- name right before the first trailing Nul byte. This is true for both
- normal paths and abstract paths. Note that this is a departure from
- previous versions of D-Bus that would create sockets with a fixed
- length path name. Names which were shorter than the fixed length
- would be padded by Nul bytes.
+ When a Unix socket is opened by the D-Bus library, the socket address
+ length does not include the whole <literal>struct sockaddr_un</literal>,
+ but only the length of the pathname or abstract string (beside other
+ fields).
