ost::UnixSocket - Unix domain sockets are used for stream based connected sessions between processes on the same machine.

#include <unix.h>

Inherits ost::Socket.


UnixSocket (const char *pathname, int backlog=5)
A Unix domain 'server' is created as a Unix domain socket that is bound to a pathname and that has a backlog queue to listen for connection requests. bool isPendingConnection (timeout_t timeout=TIMEOUT_INF)
Used to wait for pending connection requests. virtual ~UnixSocket ()
Use base socket handler for ending this socket.

Unix domain sockets are used for stream based connected sessions between processes on the same machine.

An implicit and unique UnixSocket object exists in Common C++ to represent a bound Unix domain socket acting as a 'server' for receiving connection requests. This class is not part of UnixStream because such objects normally perform no physical I/O (read or write operations) other than to specify a listen backlog queue and perform 'accept' operations for pending connections.

Author:

Alex Pavloff alex@pavloff.net bound server for Unix domain streams and sessions.

A Unix domain 'server' is created as a Unix domain socket that is bound to a pathname and that has a backlog queue to listen for connection requests. If the server cannot be created, an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

pathname pathname to socket file
backlog size of connection request queue.

Use base socket handler for ending this socket.
