Struct std::os::unix::net::UnixStream

The returned UnixStream is a reference to the same stream that this object references. Both handles will read and write the same stream of data, and options set on one stream will be propagated to the other stream.

Examples

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
 let sock_copy = socket.try_clone().expect("Couldn't clone socket");
 Ok(())
}

source

pub fn local_addr(&self) -> Result<SocketAddr>

Returns the socket address of the local half of this connection.

Examples

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
 let addr = socket.local_addr().expect("Couldn't get local address");
 Ok(())
}

source

pub fn peer_addr(&self) -> Result<SocketAddr>

Returns the socket address of the remote half of this connection.

Examples

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
 let addr = socket.peer_addr().expect("Couldn't get peer address");
 Ok(())
}

source

pub fn peer_cred(&self) -> Result<UCred>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (peer_credentials_unix_socket #42839)

Gets the peer credentials for this Unix domain socket.

Examples

#![feature(peer_credentials_unix_socket)]
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

 Ok(())
}

source

pub fn set_read_timeout(&self, timeout: Option<Duration>) -> Result<()>

Sets the read timeout for the socket.

If the provided value is None, then read calls will block indefinitely. An Err is returned if the zero Duration is passed to this method.

Examples

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
use std::time::Duration;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
 socket.set_read_timeout(Some(Duration::new(1, 0))).expect("Couldn't set read timeout");
 Ok(())
}

Run

An Err is returned if the zero Duration is passed to this method:

use std::io;
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
use std::time::Duration;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
 let result = socket.set_read_timeout(Some(Duration::new(0, 0)));
 let err = result.unwrap_err();
 assert_eq!(err.kind(), io::ErrorKind::InvalidInput);
 Ok(())
}

Run

source

pub fn set_write_timeout(&self, timeout: Option<Duration>) -> Result<()>

Sets the write timeout for the socket.

If the provided value is None, then write calls will block indefinitely. An Err is returned if the zero Duration is passed to this method.

Examples

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
use std::time::Duration;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
 socket.set_write_timeout(Some(Duration::new(1, 0)))
 .expect("Couldn't set write timeout");
 Ok(())
}

Run

An Err is returned if the zero Duration is passed to this method:

use std::io;
use std::net::UdpSocket;
use std::time::Duration;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UdpSocket::bind("127.0.0.1:34254")?;
 let result = socket.set_write_timeout(Some(Duration::new(0, 0)));

pub fn set_nonblocking(&self, nonblocking: bool) -> Result<()>

Moves the socket into or out of nonblocking mode.

Examples

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
 socket.set_nonblocking(true).expect("Couldn't set nonblocking");

pub fn set_passcred(&self, passcred: bool) -> Result<()>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Moves the socket to pass unix credentials as control message in SocketAncillary.

Set the socket option SO_PASSCRED.

Examples

#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

Platform specific

On Redox this always returns None.

source

pub fn shutdown(&self, how: Shutdown) -> Result<()>

Shuts down the read, write, or both halves of this connection.

This function will cause all pending and future I/O calls on the specified portions to immediately return with an appropriate value (see the documentation of Shutdown).

Examples

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
use std::net::Shutdown;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
 socket.shutdown(Shutdown::Both).expect("shutdown function failed");
 Ok(())

pub fn peek(&self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_peek #76923)

Receives data on the socket from the remote address to which it is connected, without removing that data from the queue. On success, returns the number of bytes peeked.

Successive calls return the same data. This is accomplished by passing MSG_PEEK as a flag to the underlying recv system call.

Examples

#![feature(unix_socket_peek)]
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
 let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
 let mut buf = [0; 10];
 let len = socket.peek(&mut buf).expect("peek failed");
 Ok(())
}

) -> Result<usize>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Receives data and ancillary data from socket.

On success, returns the number of bytes read.

Examples

#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary, AncillaryData};

 let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
 let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);
 let size = socket.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;
 println!("received {size}");
