Enum nix::sys::socket::SockType

#[repr(i32)]
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum SockType {
    Stream,
    Datagram,
    SeqPacket,
    Raw,
    Rdm,
}

These constants are used to specify the communication semantics when creating a socket with socket()

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Stream

Provides sequenced, reliable, two-way, connection- based byte streams. An out-of-band data transmission mechanism may be supported.

Datagram

Supports datagrams (connectionless, unreliable messages of a fixed maximum length).

SeqPacket

Provides a sequenced, reliable, two-way connection- based data transmission path for datagrams of fixed maximum length; a consumer is required to read an entire packet with each input system call.

Raw

Provides raw network protocol access.

Rdm

Provides a reliable datagram layer that does not guarantee ordering.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SockType

fn clone(&self) -> SockType

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SockType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq<SockType> for SockType

fn eq(&self, other: &SockType) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl TryFrom<i32> for SockType

type Error = Errno

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

fn try_from(x: i32) -> Result<Self>

Performs the conversion.
