View Source GRPC.Client.Resolver.Unix (grpc v0.11.3)

Resolver for gRPC clients connecting via Unix Domain Sockets (UDS).

This resolver handles target strings using the unix URI scheme, which allows a gRPC client to connect to a server via a Unix socket path. Unix domain sockets are supported on Unix systems only.

Target format 

unix:///absolute/path/to/socket
  • The scheme must be unix.
  • The path must be absolute (/var/run/my.sock).
  • The port is not used in Unix sockets; :port will be nil.
  • The socket type is indicated via :socket => :unix.

Example 

target = "unix:///var/run/my_grpc.sock"

{:ok, %{addresses: addresses, service_config: nil}} =
  GRPC.Client.Resolver.Unix.resolve(target)

addresses
# => [%{address: "/var/run/my_grpc.sock", port: nil, socket: :unix}]

This resolver always returns nil for the service config, as Unix sockets do not provide DNS TXT records or xDS configuration.
