Where is "unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-KtyPDgWNin" socket file saved?

I try the following:

roroco@roroco ~/Dropbox/rbs/ro_cmds $ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-KtyPDgWNin,guid=ca3ea893cf45d42ef60e74d0545d84f6

But when I want to list this socket file, I can't seem to find it:

roroco@roroco ~/Dropbox/rbs/ro_cmds $ lsa /tmp/dbus-KtyPDgWNin
ls: cannot access /tmp/dbus-KtyPDgWNin: No such file or directory

If you know the socket (like 42133) try the netstat -a command. Those sockets you are talking about are UNIX domain sockets. netstat will show more information, if the socket is persistent. Unix domain sockets usually have the socket number as part of the name: the uzposs1 process has this domain socket: uzposs1.unixstr10002 – jim mcnamara – 2014-11-11T17:41:54.970

It's an "abstract" socket; it doesn't exist in the file system. This is a Linux-ism. See man 7 unix for more details.
