## Detailed Description

A Unix domain SocketConnection.

This is the subclass of SocketConnection that is created for UNIX domain sockets.

It contains functions to do some of the unix socket specific functionallity like passing file descriptors.

## Member Function Documentation

static GType Gio::UnixConnection::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

GUnixConnection* Gio::UnixConnection::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GUnixConnection* Gio::UnixConnection::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GUnixConnection* Gio::UnixConnection::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Glib::RefPtr<Credentials> Gio::UnixConnection::receive_credentials | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable | ) |

Receives credentials from the sending end of the connection.

The sending end has to call g_unix_connection_send_credentials() (or similar) for this to work.

As well as reading the credentials this also reads (and discards) a single byte from 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 UnixCredentialsMessage type and g_socket_get_credentials() function.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  cancellable | A Cancellable or `0`.

Returns
  Received credentials on success (free with Glib::object_unref()), `0` if error is set.

Glib::RefPtr<Credentials> Gio::UnixConnection::receive_credentials | ( |  | ) |

A receive_credentials() convenience overload.

Glib::RefPtr<const Credentials> Gio::UnixConnection::receive_credentials | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable | ) | const

Receives credentials from the sending end of the connection.

The sending end has to call g_unix_connection_send_credentials() (or similar) for this to work.

As well as reading the credentials this also reads (and discards) a single byte from 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 UnixCredentialsMessage type and g_socket_get_credentials() function.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  cancellable | A Cancellable or `0`.

Returns
  Received credentials on success (free with Glib::object_unref()), `0` if error is set.

Glib::RefPtr<const Credentials> Gio::UnixConnection::receive_credentials | ( |  | ) | const

A receive_credentials() convenience overload.

int Gio::UnixConnection::receive_fd | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable | ) |

Receives a file descriptor from the sending end of the connection.

The sending end has to call g_unix_connection_send_fd() for this to work.

As well as reading the fd this also reads a single byte from the stream, as this is required for fd passing to work on some implementations.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  cancellable | Optional Cancellable object, `0` to ignore.

Returns
  A file descriptor on success, -1 on error.

int Gio::UnixConnection::receive_fd | ( |  | ) |

A receive_fd() convenience overload.

bool Gio::UnixConnection::send_credentials | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable | ) |

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 UnixCredentialsMessage type and g_socket_get_credentials() function.

Since glibmm 2.26:

Parameters

  cancellable | A Cancellable or `0`.

Returns
  `true` on success, `false` if error is set.

bool Gio::UnixConnection::send_credentials | ( |  | ) |

A send_credentials() convenience overload.

bool Gio::UnixConnection::send_fd | ( | int | fd,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Passes a file descriptor to the receiving side of the connection.

The receiving end has to call g_unix_connection_receive_fd() to accept the file descriptor.

As well as sending the fd this also writes a single byte to the stream, as this is required for fd passing to work on some implementations.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  fd | A file descriptor.
  cancellable | Optional Cancellable object, `0` to ignore.

Returns
  A `true` on success, `0` on error.

bool Gio::UnixConnection::send_fd | ( | int | fd | ) |

A send_fd() convenience overload.
