Returns the credentials of the foreign process connected to this
socket, if any (e.g. it is only supported for %G_SOCKET_FAMILY_UNIX
sockets).
If this operation isn't supported on the OS, the method fails with
the %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED error. On Linux this is implemented
by reading the %SO_PEERCRED option on the underlying socket.
This method can be expected to be available on the following platforms:
- Linux since GLib 2.26
- OpenBSD since GLib 2.30
- Solaris, Illumos and OpenSolaris since GLib 2.40
- NetBSD since GLib 2.42
Other ways to obtain credentials from a foreign peer includes the
#GUnixCredentialsMessage type and
g_unix_connection_send_credentials() /
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials() functions.
