UnixConnection.sendCredentials

Passes the credentials of the current user the receiving side of the connection. The receiving end has to call g_unix_connection_receive_credentials() (or similar) to accept the credentials. As well as sending the credentials this also writes a single NUL byte to the stream, as this is required for credentials passing to work on some implementations. Other ways to exchange credentials with a foreign peer includes the GUnixCredentialsMessage type and g_socket_get_credentials() function. Since 2.26
