值0的套接字类型是什么类型？

Question

我在0中看不到值的套接字类型

socket_type.h

/* Types of sockets.  */
enum __socket_type
{
  SOCK_STREAM = 1,      /* Sequenced, reliable, connection-based
                   byte streams.  */
#define SOCK_STREAM SOCK_STREAM
  SOCK_DGRAM = 2,       /* Connectionless, unreliable datagrams
                   of fixed maximum length.  */
#define SOCK_DGRAM SOCK_DGRAM
  SOCK_RAW = 3,         /* Raw protocol interface.  */
#define SOCK_RAW SOCK_RAW
  SOCK_RDM = 4,         /* Reliably-delivered messages.  */
#define SOCK_RDM SOCK_RDM
  SOCK_SEQPACKET = 5,       /* Sequenced, reliable, connection-based,
                   datagrams of fixed maximum length.  */
#define SOCK_SEQPACKET SOCK_SEQPACKET
  SOCK_DCCP = 6,        /* Datagram Congestion Control Protocol.  */
#define SOCK_DCCP SOCK_DCCP
  SOCK_PACKET = 10,     /* Linux specific way of getting packets
                   at the dev level.  For writing rarp and
                   other similar things on the user level. */
#define SOCK_PACKET SOCK_PACKET

  /* Flags to be ORed into the type parameter of socket and socketpair and
     used for the flags parameter of paccept.  */

  SOCK_CLOEXEC = 02000000,  /* Atomically set close-on-exec flag for the
                   new descriptor(s).  */
#define SOCK_CLOEXEC SOCK_CLOEXEC
  SOCK_NONBLOCK = 00004000  /* Atomically mark descriptor(s) as
                   non-blocking.  */
#define SOCK_NONBLOCK SOCK_NONBLOCK
};

但是，如果我没有指定addrinfo struct字段ai_socktype，怎么办？值是0，当__socktype_type中没有这类类型时，该类型是哪种类型？

Answer 1

将0用于ai_socktype意味着“任意类型”。

从手册页到getaddrinfo

 The hints argument points to an addrinfo structure that specifies
       criteria for selecting the socket address structures returned in
       the list pointed to by res.  If hints is not NULL it points to an
       addrinfo structure whose ai_family, ai_socktype, and ai_protocol
       specify criteria that limit the set of socket addresses returned
       by getaddrinfo(), as follows:

       [...]

       ai_socktype
              This field specifies the preferred socket type, for
              example SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM.  Specifying 0 in this
              field indicates that socket addresses of any type can be
              returned by getaddrinfo().

“在此字段中指定0表示getaddrinfo()可以返回任何类型的套接字地址。”
