How to Clean up unix sockets

Help
1

My initial goal was to expose runtime info to the user assuming they can’t see stdout like how jupyter exposes /run/user/$(id -u)/jupyter/*.json files to show port number and other info. Given I’m fairly sure that is /run/user not an option on macos, I’ve settled for using unix sockets.

This is a small example of what I’m doing:

const std = @import("std");
pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const io = init.io;
    const address = try std.Io.net.UnixAddress.init("./sock");
    var serv = try address.listen(io, .{});
    defer serv.deinit(io);
    var sock = try serv.accept(io);
    defer sock.close(io);
    var wBuff: [1024]u8 = undefined;
    var writer = sock.writer(io, &wBuff);
    try writer.interface.print("hello", .{});
    try writer.interface.flush();
}

My problem is that the socket is not removed after calling .deinit blocking attempts at using the same address without removing it like a file.

rm ./sock

Is there anyway of cleaning it up properly within zig that is better than std.Io.Dir.deleteFile?

I’ve included the premise to avoid it becoming an X Y problem.

From Zig’s own test:

const socket_addr = try net.UnixAddress.init(socket_path);
defer Io.Dir.cwd().deleteFile(io, socket_path) catch {};

so that’s probably not a bad way?
