[−][src]Module unix_cred::ucred
The ucred
module provides an interface to the ucred
interface on Linux, the sockpeecred
interface on OpenBSD, or the unpcbid
interface on NetBSD.
The reason that the interfaces for all three of these are in one module is that they are all essentially the same interface, with only minor implementation differences (such as the order of the fields in the C struct, or the name of the socket option used to retrieve them).
Note: This module is only here for completeness. In most cases, you should use
get_peer_ids()
or get_peer_pid_ids()
, which have slightly better cross-platform
support.
