GLib.UnixConnection – gio-2.0 – Vala Binding Reference

Object Hierarchy:

Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "g_unix_connection_get_type ()" ) ]
[ Version ( since = "2.22" ) ]
public class UnixConnection : SocketConnection

This is the subclass of [class@Gio.

SocketConnection] 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.
