Given an arbritary unix socket address, am I able to get the number of connections on it via a POSIX api call?
Or would I have to walk though the /proc filesystem?

I’ll assume you mean the number of current connections on a port, not the total connection count over the lifetime of a socket fd which was my first thought. I’m afraid the most portable method is popen(“netstat -n”, “r”) and try to parse it. POSIX gives us very little in the area of system/network administration tools.
