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

Creates a pair of sockets connected to 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
unix_s_socketpair(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
{
    VALUE domain, type, protocol;
    VALUE args[3];

    domain = INT2FIX(PF_UNIX);

    if (argc == 0)
        type = INT2FIX(SOCK_STREAM);
    if (argc <= 1)

    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

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.
