          def UnixListener.accept(
          \*,
          timeout\_ms: None | int = None
          ) -> (std.net.UnixStream, None | str)

Wait for a connection and return `(stream, peer_path)`, the path being `None` for an unnamed client socket, as it usually is. With `timeout_ms`, fail with `kind == "timed_out"` when none arrives in time; `None` waits for as long as it takes. `function` **UnixListener.close**

        
          def UnixListener.close() -> None

Stop listening. The socket file stays where it is; remove it when it is no longer needed. Closing twice is harmless. `function` **UnixListener.local\_addr**

        
          def UnixListener.local\_addr() -> None | str

The path this listener is bound to. `function` **UnixListener.try\_accept**

              
          def UnixListener.try\_accept(
          \*,
          timeout\_ms: None | int = None
          ) -> (None | std.io.Error, None | (std.net.UnixStream, None | str))

`accept`, returning an `(err, (stream, peer_path))` pair instead of raising a `std.io.Error`. `function` **UnixListener.try\_local\_addr**

              
          def UnixListener.try\_local\_addr() -> (None | std.io.Error, None | str)

`local_addr`, returning an `(err, str | None)` pair instead of raising a `std.io.Error`. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
