Description
class Gio.UnixConnection : Gio.SocketConnection {
parent_instance: GSocketConnection,
priv: GUnixConnectionPrivate*
}This is the subclass of GSocketConnection that is created
for UNIX domain sockets.
It contains functions to do some of the UNIX socket specific functionality like passing file descriptors.
Since GLib 2.72, GUnixConnection 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/gunixconnection.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.

Instance methods
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials
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.
since: 2.26
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials_finish
Finishes an asynchronous receive credentials operation started with g_unix_connection_receive_credentials_async().
since: 2.32
g_unix_connection_receive_fd
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.
since: 2.22
g_unix_connection_send_credentials
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.
since: 2.26
g_unix_connection_send_credentials_finish
Finishes an asynchronous send credentials operation started with g_unix_connection_send_credentials_async().
since: 2.32
g_unix_connection_send_fd
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.
since: 2.22
Methods inherited from GSocketConnection (7)
g_socket_connection_connect
Connect connection to the specified remote address.
since: 2.32
g_socket_connection_connect_async
Asynchronously connect connection to the specified remote address.
since: 2.32
g_socket_connection_connect_finish
Gets the result of a g_socket_connection_connect_async() call.
since: 2.32
g_socket_connection_get_local_address
Try to get the local address of a socket connection.
since: 2.22
g_socket_connection_get_remote_address
Try to get the remote address of a socket connection.
since: 2.22
g_socket_connection_get_socket
Gets the underlying GSocket object of the connection.
This can be useful if you want to do something unusual on it
not supported by the GSocketConnection APIs.
since: 2.22
g_socket_connection_is_connected
Checks if connection is connected. This is equivalent to calling
g_socket_is_connected() on connection‘s underlying GSocket.
since: 2.32
Methods inherited from GIOStream (10)
g_io_stream_clear_pending
Clears the pending flag on stream.
since: 2.22
g_io_stream_close
Closes the stream, releasing resources related to it. This will also close the individual input and output streams, if they are not already closed.
since: 2.22
g_io_stream_close_async
Requests an asynchronous close of the stream, releasing resources
related to it. When the operation is finished callback will be
called. You can then call g_io_stream_close_finish() to get
the result of the operation.
since: 2.22
g_io_stream_close_finish
Closes a stream.
since: 2.22
g_io_stream_get_input_stream
Gets the input stream for this object. This is used for reading.
since: 2.22
g_io_stream_get_output_stream
Gets the output stream for this object. This is used for writing.
since: 2.22
g_io_stream_has_pending
Checks if a stream has pending actions.
since: 2.22
g_io_stream_is_closed
Checks if a stream is closed.
since: 2.22
g_io_stream_set_pending
Sets stream to have actions pending. If the pending flag is
already set or stream is closed, it will return FALSE and set
error.
since: 2.22
g_io_stream_splice_async
Asynchronously splice the output stream of stream1 to the input stream of
stream2, and splice the output stream of stream2 to the input stream of
stream1.
since: 2.28
