This is the subclass of GSocketConnection that is created for UNIX domain sockets.
It contains functions to do some of the UNIX socket specific functionality like passing file descriptors.
Note that <gio/gunixconnection.h> belongs to
the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the
gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it.
gint g_unix_connection_receive_fd (GUnixConnection *connection,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Receives a file descriptor from the sending end of the connection.
The sending end has to call g_unix_connection_send_fd() for this
to work.
As well as reading the fd this also reads a single byte from the stream, as this is required for fd passing to work on some implementations.

optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore. [allow-none]
|
|
GError for error reporting, or NULL to ignore. [allow-none]
|
Returns : |
a file descriptor on success, -1 on error. |
Since 2.22
gboolean g_unix_connection_send_fd (GUnixConnection *connection,gint fd,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Passes a file descriptor to the recieving side of the
connection. The recieving end has to call g_unix_connection_receive_fd()
to accept the file descriptor.
As well as sending the fd this also writes a single byte to the stream, as this is required for fd passing to work on some implementations.

GCredentials * g_unix_connection_receive_credentials (GUnixConnection *connection,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Receives credentials from the sending end of the connection. The
sending end has to call g_unix_connection_send_credentials() (or
similar) for this to work.
As well as reading the credentials this also reads (and discards) a single byte from the stream, as this is required for credentials passing to work on some implementations.
Other ways to exchange credentials with a foreign peer includes the
GUnixCredentialsMessage type and g_socket_get_credentials() function.

A GCancellable or NULL. [allow-none]
|
|
Return location for error or NULL. |
Returns : |
Received credentials on success (free with
g_object_unref()), NULL if error is set. [transfer full]
|
Since 2.26
gboolean g_unix_connection_send_credentials (GUnixConnection *connection,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Passes the credentials of the current user the receiving side
of the connection. The recieving end has to call
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials() (or similar) to accept the
credentials.
As well as sending the credentials this also writes a single NUL byte to the stream, as this is required for credentials passing to work on some implementations.
Other ways to exchange credentials with a foreign peer includes the
GUnixCredentialsMessage type and g_socket_get_credentials() function.
