SocketControlMessage - A Socket control message.
A SocketControlMessage is a special-purpose utility message that can be sent to or received from a Socket. These types of messages are often called "ancillary data".
The message can represent some sort of special instruction to or information from the socket or can represent a special kind of transfer to the peer (for example, sending a file description over a UNIX socket).
These messages are sent with Gio::Socket::send() and received with Gio::Socket::receive().
To extend the set of control message that can be sent, subclass this class and override the get_size, get_level, get_type and serialize methods.
To extend the set of control messages that can be received, subclass this class and implement the deserialize method. Also, make sure your class is registered with the GType typesystem before calling Gio::Socket::receive() to read such a message.

int Gio::SocketControlMessage::get_level | ( | ) | const |
Returns the "level" (i.e. the originating protocol) of the control message.
This is often SOL_SOCKET.

int Gio::SocketControlMessage::get_msg_type | ( | ) | const |
Returns the protocol specific type of the control message.
For instance, for UNIX fd passing this would be SCM_RIGHTS.

Returns the space required for the control message, not including headers or alignment.
