Mappings from string types to local socket names.

Types that implement this trait are uninhabited type-level markers: those which implement PathNameType serve as generic arguments for ToFsName::to_fs_name(), while those which implement NamespacedNameType are used with ToNsName::to_ns_name().

It is a breaking change for a mapping to meaningfully change. More concretely, if a name produced by this mapping from some input results in a valid listener via server creation or successfully locates one via client creation, the name type will continue to map that input to the same name, for the OS’s definition of “same”.

Required Methods

fn is_supported() -> bool

Whether the name type is supported within the runtime circumstances of the program.

May entail querying support status from the OS, returning false in the event of an OS error.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
