Struct IpcPeer 

pub struct IpcPeer {
    pub uid: Option<u32>,
    pub gid: Option<u32>,
    pub pid: Option<i32>,
    pub off_box_source: bool,
    pub injector: Option<InjectorClaim>,
    pub conn: u64,
}

Who wrote an inbound payload, as the accepting socket can tell.

The credentials come from the kernel (SO_PEERCRED and its equivalents), so they cannot be forged by the writer. off_box_source and injector are the writer’s own declarations (see IPC_DECLARE_OFF_BOX_SOURCE / IPC_DECLARE_INJECTOR_PREFIX) and are sticky for the life of the connection, except that a plugin-plane writer (is_plugin_peer) starts out as an injector whatever it declares. Not Copy: the injector claim carries owned strings.

Fields

uid: Option<u32>

gid: Option<u32>

pid: Option<i32>

off_box_source: bool

The writing process has declared that it is forwarding bytes that reached this node from somewhere else.

injector: Option<InjectorClaim>

The writer is an autonomous injector, so its commands are subject to the PIC arbiter: it declared itself one, or its kernel credentials put it on the plugin plane. None = an operator/human writer, never gated.

conn: u64

This connection’s serial, unique within the accepting process, so a consumer can keep per-connection state (a partial frame) apart.
