Struct tokio::net::UnixListener

pub struct UnixListener { /* fields omitted */ }

This is supported on crate feature net only.

A Unix socket which can accept connections from other Unix sockets.

You can accept a new connection by using the accept method.

A UnixListener can be turned into a Stream with UnixListenerStream.

Errors

Note that accepting a connection can lead to various errors and not all of them are necessarily fatal ‒ for example having too many open file descriptors or the other side closing the connection while it waits in an accept queue. These would terminate the stream if not handled in any way.

Examples

use tokio::net::UnixListener;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let listener = UnixListener::bind("/path/to/the/socket").unwrap();
    loop {
        match listener.accept().await {
            Ok((stream, _addr)) => {
                println!("new client!");
            }
            Err(e) => { /* connection failed */ }
        }
    }
}

Implementations

impl UnixListener

pub fn bind<P>(path: P) -> Result<UnixListener> where
    P: AsRef<Path>, 

Creates a new UnixListener bound to the specified path.

Panics

This function panics if thread-local runtime is not set.

The runtime is usually set implicitly when this function is called from a future driven by a tokio runtime, otherwise runtime can be set explicitly with Runtime::enter function.

pub fn from_std(listener: UnixListener) -> Result<UnixListener>

Creates new UnixListener from a std::os::unix::net::UnixListener .

This function is intended to be used to wrap a UnixListener from the standard library in the Tokio equivalent. The conversion assumes nothing about the underlying listener; it is left up to the user to set it in non-blocking mode.

Panics

This function panics if thread-local runtime is not set.

The runtime is usually set implicitly when this function is called from a future driven by a tokio runtime, otherwise runtime can be set explicitly with Runtime::enter function.

pub fn local_addr(&self) -> Result<SocketAddr>

Returns the local socket address of this listener.

pub fn take_error(&self) -> Result<Option<Error>>

Returns the value of the SO_ERROR option.

pub async fn accept(&self) -> Result<(UnixStream, SocketAddr)>

Accepts a new incoming connection to this listener.

pub fn poll_accept(
    &self,
    cx: &mut Context<'_>
) -> Poll<Result<(UnixStream, SocketAddr)>>

Polls to accept a new incoming connection to this listener.

If there is no connection to accept, Poll::Pending is returned and the current task will be notified by a waker. Note that on multiple calls to poll_accept, only the Waker from the Context passed to the most recent call is scheduled to receive a wakeup.

Trait Implementations

impl AsRawFd for UnixListener

fn as_raw_fd(&self) -> RawFd

Extracts the raw file descriptor.

impl Debug for UnixListener

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl TryFrom<UnixListener> for UnixListener

type Error = Error

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

fn try_from(stream: UnixListener) -> Result<Self>

Consumes stream, returning the tokio I/O object.

This is equivalent to UnixListener::from_std(stream).
