# class 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.

    require 'socket'

    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
socketpair([type [, protocol]]) → [unixsocket1, unixsocket2]

Creates a pair of sockets connected to each other.

type 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
    unix_s_socketpair(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
    {
        VALUE domain, type, protocol;
        VALUE args[3];

        domain = INT2FIX(PF_UNIX);
        rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "02", &type, &protocol);
        if (argc == 0)
            type = INT2FIX(SOCK_STREAM);
        if (argc <= 1)
            protocol = INT2FIX(0);

        args[0] = domain;
        args[1] = type;
        args[2] = protocol;

        return rsock_sock_s_socketpair(3, args, klass);
    }

pair([type [, protocol]]) → [unixsocket1, unixsocket2] click to toggle source
socketpair([type [, protocol]]) → [unixsocket1, unixsocket2]

Creates a pair of sockets connected to each other.

type 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
    unix_s_socketpair(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
    {
        VALUE domain, type, protocol;
        VALUE args[3];

        domain = INT2FIX(PF_UNIX);
        rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "02", &type, &protocol);
        if (argc == 0)
            type = INT2FIX(SOCK_STREAM);
        if (argc <= 1)
            protocol = INT2FIX(0);

        args[0] = domain;
        args[1] = type;
        args[2] = protocol;

        return rsock_sock_s_socketpair(3, args, klass);
    }

### Public Instance Methods

addr → [address_family, unix_path] click to toggle source

Returns the local address as an array which contains address_family and unix_path.

Example

    serv = UNIXServer.new("/tmp/sock")
    p serv.addr #=> ["AF_UNIX", "/tmp/sock"]

    static VALUE
    unix_addr(VALUE sock)
    {
        rb_io_t *fptr;
        struct sockaddr_un addr;
        socklen_t len = (socklen_t)sizeof addr;
        socklen_t len0 = len;

        GetOpenFile(sock, fptr);

        if (getsockname(fptr->fd, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, &len) < 0)
            rsock_sys_fail_path("getsockname(2)", fptr->pathv);
        if (len0 < len) len = len0;
        return rsock_unixaddr(&addr, len);
    }

path → path click to toggle source

Returns the path of the local address of unixsocket.

    s = UNIXServer.new("/tmp/sock")
    p s.path #=> "/tmp/sock"

    static VALUE
    unix_path(VALUE sock)
    {
        rb_io_t *fptr;

        GetOpenFile(sock, fptr);
        if (NIL_P(fptr->pathv)) {
            struct sockaddr_un addr;
            socklen_t len = (socklen_t)sizeof(addr);
            socklen_t len0 = len;
            if (getsockname(fptr->fd, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, &len) < 0)
                rsock_sys_fail_path("getsockname(2)", fptr->pathv);
            if (len0 < len) len = len0;
            fptr->pathv = rb_obj_freeze(rsock_unixpath_str(&addr, len));
        }
        return rb_str_dup(fptr->pathv);
    }

peeraddr → [address_family, unix_path] click to toggle source

Returns the remote address as an array which contains address_family and unix_path.

Example

    serv = UNIXServer.new("/tmp/sock")
    c = UNIXSocket.new("/tmp/sock")
    p c.peeraddr #=> ["AF_UNIX", "/tmp/sock"]

    static VALUE
    unix_peeraddr(VALUE sock)

        rb_io_t *fptr;
        struct sockaddr_un addr;
        socklen_t len = (socklen_t)sizeof addr;
        socklen_t len0 = len;

        GetOpenFile(sock, fptr);

        if (getpeername(fptr->fd, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, &len) < 0)
            rsock_sys_fail_path("getpeername(2)", fptr->pathv);
        if (len0 < len) len = len0;
        return rsock_unixaddr(&addr, len);
    }

recv_io([klass [, mode]]) → io click to toggle source

Example

    UNIXServer.open("/tmp/sock") {|serv|
      UNIXSocket.open("/tmp/sock") {|c|
        s = serv.accept

        c.send_io STDOUT
        stdout = s.recv_io

        p STDOUT.fileno #=> 1
        p stdout.fileno #=> 7

        stdout.puts "hello" # outputs "hello\n" to standard output.
      }
    }

klass will determine the class of io returned (using the `IO.for_fd` singleton method or similar). If klass is `nil`, an integer file descriptor is returned.

mode is the same as the argument passed to `IO.for_fd`

    static VALUE
    unix_recv_io(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE sock)

recvfrom(maxlen [, flags[, outbuf]]) → [mesg, unixaddress] click to toggle source

Receives a message via unixsocket.

maxlen is the maximum number of bytes to receive.

flags should be a bitwise OR of Socket::MSG_* constants.

outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.

Sends io as file descriptor passing.

    p STDOUT.fileno #=> 1
