UnixConnection

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

It contains functions to do some of the UNIX socket specific functionality like passing file descriptors.

Note that <gio/gunixconnection.h> belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it.

class UnixConnection : SocketConnection {

protected

GUnixConnection* gUnixConnection;

GUnixConnection* getUnixConnectionStruct(bool transferOwnership);

void* getStruct();

this(GUnixConnection* gUnixConnection, bool ownedRef);

static GType getType();

Credentials receiveCredentials(Cancellable cancellable);

void receiveCredentialsAsync(Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData);

Credentials receiveCredentialsFinish(AsyncResultIF result);

int receiveFd(Cancellable cancellable);

bool sendCredentials(Cancellable cancellable);

void sendCredentialsAsync(Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData);

bool sendCredentialsFinish(AsyncResultIF result);

bool sendFd(int fd, Cancellable cancellable);

}

Constructors

this this(GUnixConnection* gUnixConnection, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

Functions

getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getUnixConnectionStruct GUnixConnection* getUnixConnectionStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
receiveCredentials Credentials receiveCredentials(Cancellable cancellable): Receives credentials from the sending end of the connection. The sending end has to call UnixConnection.sendCredentials (or similar) for this to work.
receiveCredentialsAsync void receiveCredentialsAsync(Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData): Asynchronously receive credentials.
receiveCredentialsFinish Credentials receiveCredentialsFinish(AsyncResultIF result): Finishes an asynchronous receive credentials operation started with UnixConnection.receiveCredentialsAsync.
receiveFd int receiveFd(Cancellable cancellable): Receives a file descriptor from the sending end of the connection. The sending end has to call UnixConnection.sendFd for this to work.
sendCredentials bool sendCredentials(Cancellable cancellable): Passes the credentials of the current user the receiving side of the connection. The receiving end has to call UnixConnection.receiveCredentials (or similar) to accept the credentials.
sendCredentialsAsync void sendCredentialsAsync(Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData): Asynchronously send credentials.
sendCredentialsFinish bool sendCredentialsFinish(AsyncResultIF result): Finishes an asynchronous send credentials operation started with UnixConnection.sendCredentialsAsync.
sendFd bool sendFd(int fd, Cancellable cancellable): Passes a file descriptor to the receiving side of the connection. The receiving end has to call UnixConnection.receiveFd to accept the file descriptor.

From SocketConnection

gSocketConnection GSocketConnection* gSocketConnection;: the main Gtk struct
getSocketConnectionStruct GSocketConnection* getSocketConnectionStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getType GType getType()
factoryLookupType GType factoryLookupType(GSocketFamily family, GSocketType type, int protocolId): Looks up the GType to be used when creating socket connections on sockets with the specified family, type and protocol_id.
factoryRegisterType void factoryRegisterType(GType gType, GSocketFamily family, GSocketType type, int protocol): Looks up the GType to be used when creating socket connections on sockets with the specified family, type and protocol.
connect bool connect(SocketAddress address, Cancellable cancellable): Connect connection to the specified remote address.
connectAsync void connectAsync(SocketAddress address, Cancellable cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, void* userData): Asynchronously connect connection to the specified remote address.
connectFinish bool connectFinish(AsyncResultIF result): Gets the result of a Socket.connectionConnectAsync call.
getLocalAddress SocketAddress getLocalAddress(): Try to get the local address of a socket connection.
getRemoteAddress SocketAddress getRemoteAddress(): Try to get the remote address of a socket connection.
getSocket Socket getSocket(): Gets the underlying atk.Socket object of the connection. This can be useful if you want to do something unusual on it not supported by the gio.SocketConnection APIs.
isConnected bool isConnected(): Checks if connection is connected. This is equivalent to calling Socket.isConnected on connection's underlying atk.Socket
