gio.unix_socket_address

Module for [UnixSocketAddress] class

class UnixSocketAddress UnixSocketAddressGidBuilder UnixSocketAddressGidBuilderImpl

Types 3

classUnixSocketAddress : gio.socket_address.SocketAddress

Support for UNIX-domain (also known as local) sockets, corresponding to struct sockaddr_un.

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 [gio.types.IOErrorEnum.NotSupported] errors. You can use [gio.unix_socket_address.UnixSocketAddress.abstractNamesSupported] to see if abstract names are supported.

Since GLib 2.72, [gio.unix_socket_address.UnixSocketAddress] is available on all platforms. It requires underlying system support (such as Windows 10 with AF_UNIX) at run time.

Before GLib 2.72, <gio/gunixsocketaddress.h> belonged to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you had to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it. This is no longer necessary since GLib 2.72.

Methods

GType _getGType()

GType _gType() @property

UnixSocketAddress self()Returns `this`, for use in `with` statements.

UnixSocketAddressGidBuilder builder()Get builder for [gio.unixsocketaddress.UnixSocketAddress] Returns: New builder object

bool abstract_() @propertyGet `abstract_` property. Returns: Whether or not this is an abstract address

gio.types.UnixSocketAddressType addressType() @propertyGet `addressType` property. Returns: The type of Unix socket address.

string path() @propertyGet `path` property. Returns: Unix socket path.

gio.unix_socket_address.UnixSocketAddress newAbstract(string path)Creates a new [gio.types.UnixSocketAddressType.AbstractPadded] #GUnixSocketAddress for path.

gio.unix_socket_address.UnixSocketAddress newWithType(string path, gio.types.UnixSocketAddressType type)Creates a new #GUnixSocketAddress of type type with name path.

bool abstractNamesSupported()Checks if abstract UNIX domain socket names are supported. Returns: true if supported, false otherwise

gio.types.UnixSocketAddressType getAddressType()Gets address's type. Returns: a #GUnixSocketAddressType

bool getIsAbstract()Tests if address is abstract. Returns: true if the address is abstract, false otherwise

string getPath()Gets address's path, or for abstract sockets the "name".

size_t getPathLen()Gets the length of address's path.

Constructors

this(void * ptr, Flag!"Take" take)

this(string path)Creates a new #GUnixSocketAddress for path.
