gRPC Unix Abstract Socket Example

This example shows how to use gRPC with Unix domain sockets in the abstract namespace. gRPC uses the unix-abstract:abstract_path URI scheme to support this. In this example, a socket with an embedded null character grpc%00abstract is created.

Build and run the example

Run bazel run :server in one terminal, and bazel run :client in another.

The client and server will confirm that a message was sent and received on both ends. The server will continue running until it is shut down. While the server is still running, you can confirm that a unix domain socket is in use by running lsof -U | grep '@grpc@abstract'.
