UnixSocketAddress

open class UnixSocketAddress(pointer: <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class>>) : 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 G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED errors. You can use func@Gio.UnixSocketAddress.abstract_names_supported 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.

Functions

Link copied to clipboard
open fun enumerate(): SocketAddressEnumerator

Creates a #GSocketAddressEnumerator for @connectable.

Link copied to clipboard
open fun getAddressType(): UnixSocketAddressType

Gets @address's type.

Link copied to clipboard
open fun getFamily(): SocketFamily

Gets the socket family type of @address.

Link copied to clipboard
open fun getIsAbstract(): Boolean

Tests if @address is abstract.

Link copied to clipboard
open fun getNativeSize(): Long

Gets the size of @address's native struct sockaddr. You can use this to allocate memory to pass to g_socket_address_to_native().

Link copied to clipboard
open fun getPath(): String

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

Link copied to clipboard
open fun getPathLen(): <Error class: unknown class>

Gets the length of @address's path.

Link copied to clipboard
open fun proxyEnumerate(): SocketAddressEnumerator

Creates a #GSocketAddressEnumerator for @connectable that will return a #GProxyAddress for each of its addresses that you must connect to via a proxy.
