GI.Gio.Objects.UnixSocketAddress

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 G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED errors. You can use unixSocketAddressAbstractNamesSupported to see if abstract names are supported.

Since GLib 2.72, GUnixSocketAddress 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.

abstractNamesSupported

unixSocketAddressAbstractNamesSupported

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> m Bool

Returns: True if supported, False otherwise

Checks if abstract UNIX domain socket names are supported.

Since: 2.22

getAddressType

unixSocketAddressGetAddressType

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsUnixSocketAddress a)

=> a

address: a InetSocketAddress

-> m UnixSocketAddressType

Returns: a UnixSocketAddressType

Gets address's type.

Since: 2.26

getIsAbstract

unixSocketAddressGetIsAbstract

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsUnixSocketAddress a)

=> a

address: a InetSocketAddress

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the address is abstract, False otherwise

Deprecated: Use unixSocketAddressGetAddressType

Tests if address is abstract.

Since: 2.22

getPath

unixSocketAddressGetPath

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsUnixSocketAddress a)

=> a

address: a InetSocketAddress

-> m Text

Returns: the path for address

Gets address's path, or for abstract sockets the "name".

Guaranteed to be zero-terminated, but an abstract socket may contain embedded zeros, and thus you should use unixSocketAddressGetPathLen to get the true length of this string.

Since: 2.22

getPathLen

unixSocketAddressGetPathLen

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsUnixSocketAddress a)

=> a

address: a InetSocketAddress

-> m CSize

Returns: the length of the path

Gets the length of address's path.

For details, see unixSocketAddressGetPath.

Since: 2.22

new

unixSocketAddressNew

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> Text

path: the socket path

-> m UnixSocketAddress

Returns: a new UnixSocketAddress

Creates a new UnixSocketAddress for path.

To create abstract socket addresses, on systems that support that, use unixSocketAddressNewAbstract.

Since: 2.22

newAbstract

unixSocketAddressNewAbstract

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> [Int8]

path: the abstract name

-> m UnixSocketAddress

Returns: a new UnixSocketAddress

Deprecated: Use unixSocketAddressNewWithType.

Creates a new UnixSocketAddressTypeAbstractPadded UnixSocketAddress for path.

newWithType

unixSocketAddressNewWithType

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> [Int8]

path: the name

-> UnixSocketAddressType

type: a UnixSocketAddressType

-> m UnixSocketAddress

Returns: a new UnixSocketAddress

Creates a new UnixSocketAddress of type type with name path.

If type is UnixSocketAddressTypePath, this is equivalent to calling unixSocketAddressNew.

If type is UnixSocketAddressTypeAnonymous, path and pathLen will be ignored.

If pathType is UnixSocketAddressTypeAbstract, then pathLen bytes of path will be copied to the socket's path, and only those bytes will be considered part of the name. (If pathLen is -1, then path is assumed to be NUL-terminated.) For example, if path was "test", then calling socketAddressGetNativeSize on the returned socket would return 7 (2 bytes of overhead, 1 byte for the abstract-socket indicator byte, and 4 bytes for the name "test").

If pathType is UnixSocketAddressTypeAbstractPadded, then pathLen bytes of path will be copied to the socket's path, the rest of the path will be padded with 0 bytes, and the entire zero-padded buffer will be considered the name. (As above, if pathLen is -1, then path is assumed to be NUL-terminated.) In this case, socketAddressGetNativeSize will always return the full size of a struct sockaddr_un, although unixSocketAddressGetPathLen will still return just the length of path.

UnixSocketAddressTypeAbstract is preferred over UnixSocketAddressTypeAbstractPadded for new programs. Of course, when connecting to a server created by another process, you must use the appropriate type corresponding to how that process created its listening socket.
