UNIXSocket

UNIXSocket represents a UNIX domain stream client socket.

Public Class Methods

new(path) => unixsocket click to toggle source

Creates a new UNIX client socket connected to path.

s = UNIXSocket.new("/tmp/sock")
s.send "hello", 0

 
               static VALUE
unix_init(VALUE sock, VALUE path)
{
    return rsock_init_unixsock(sock, path, 0);
}

pair([type [, protocol]]) => [unixsocket1, unixsocket2] click to toggle source

Creates a pair of sockets connected each other.

socktype should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.

protocol should be a protocol defined in the domain. 0 is default protocol for the domain.

s1, s2 = UNIXSocket.pair
s1.send "a", 0
s1.send "b", 0
p s2.recv(10) #=> "ab"

 
               static VALUE

Sends io as file descriptor passing.
