passfd 0.1.6

File descriptor passing
Documentation
//! `passfd` allows passing file descriptors between unrelated processes
//! using Unix sockets.
//!
//! Both tokio 0.1 and 0.2 are supported with `tokio_01` and `tokio_02`
//! features. Please note that these features rely on internal representation
//! of UnixStream and are unsafe.
//!
//! # Example usage
//! ## Process 1 (sender)
//! ```
//! use passfd::FdPassingExt;
//! use std::fs::File;
//! use std::os::unix::io::AsRawFd;
//! use std::os::unix::net::UnixListener;
//!
//! let file = File::open("/etc/passwd").unwrap();
//! let listener = UnixListener::bind("/tmp/test.sock").unwrap();
//! let (stream, _) = listener.accept().unwrap();
//! stream.send_fd(file.as_raw_fd()).unwrap();
//! ```
//! ## Process 2 (receiver)
//! ```
//! use passfd::FdPassingExt;
//! use std::fs::File;
//! use std::io::Read;
//! use std::os::unix::io::FromRawFd;
//! use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
//!
//! let stream = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/test.sock").unwrap();
//! let fd = stream.recv_fd().unwrap();
//! let mut file = unsafe { File::from_raw_fd(fd) };
//! let mut buf = String::new();
//! file.read_to_string(&mut buf).unwrap();
//! println!("{}", buf);
//! ```
