UnixSocketAddress

Support for UNIX-domain (also known as local) sockets.

UNIX domain sockets are generally visible in the filesystem. However, some systems support abstract socket names which are not visible in the filesystem and not affected by the filesystem permissions, visibility, etc. Currently this is only supported under Linux. If you attempt to use abstract sockets on other systems, function calls may return %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED errors. You can use g_unix_socket_address_abstract_names_supported() to see if abstract names are supported.

Note that <gio/gunixsocketaddress.h> belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it.

Constructors

this this(GUnixSocketAddress* gUnixSocketAddress, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
this this(string path): Creates a new #GUnixSocketAddress for @path.
this this(string path, GUnixSocketAddressType type): Creates a new #GUnixSocketAddress of type @type with name @path.

Members

Functions

getAddressType GUnixSocketAddressType getAddressType(): Gets @address's type.
getIsAbstract bool getIsAbstract(): Tests if @address is abstract.
getPath string getPath(): Gets @address's path, or for abstract sockets the "name".
getPathLen size_t getPathLen(): Gets the length of @address's path.
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getUnixSocketAddressStruct GUnixSocketAddress* getUnixSocketAddressStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct

Static functions

abstractNamesSupported bool abstractNamesSupported(): Checks if abstract UNIX domain socket names are supported.
getType GType getType()

Variables

gUnixSocketAddress GUnixSocketAddress* gUnixSocketAddress;: the main Gtk struct

Inherited Members

From SocketAddress

gSocketAddress GSocketAddress* gSocketAddress;: the main Gtk struct
getSocketAddressStruct GSocketAddress* getSocketAddressStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
__anonymous mixin SocketConnectableT!(GSocketAddress): Undocumented in source.
getType GType getType()
getFamily GSocketFamily getFamily(): Gets the socket family type of @address.
getNativeSize ptrdiff_t getNativeSize(): Gets the size of @address's native struct sockaddr. You can use this to allocate memory to pass to g_socket_address_to_native().
toNative bool toNative(void* dest, size_t destlen): Converts a #GSocketAddress to a native struct sockaddr, which can be passed to low-level functions like connect() or bind().
