Module nix::sys::socket [−][src]
Expand description
Socket interface functions
Modules
Socket options as used by setsockopt and getsockopt.
Structs
Request for multicast socket operations
Request for ipv6 multicast socket operations
Hardware Address
Flags for send/recv and their relatives
Additional socket options
A wrapper around sockaddr_un.
Unix credentials of the sending process.
Enums
These constants specify the protocol family to be used
in socket and socketpair
A type-safe zero-copy wrapper around a single control message, as used wih
sendmsg. More types may be added to this enum; do not
exhaustively pattern-match it.
A type-safe wrapper around a single control message, as used with
recvmsg.
Represents a socket address
Constants used in socket and socketpair
to specify the protocol to use.
These constants are used to specify the communication semantics
when creating a socket with socket()
Traits
Represents a socket option that can be retrieved.
Represents a socket option that can be set.
Functions
Accept a connection on a socket
Accept a connection on a socket
Bind a name to a socket
Initiate a connection on a socket
Get the address of the peer connected to the socket fd.
Get the current address to which the socket fd is bound.
Get the current value for the requested socket option
Listen for connections on a socket
Receive data from a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read
Receive data from a connectionless or connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read and, for connectionless sockets, the socket address of the sender.
An extension of recvmsg that allows the caller to receive multiple
messages from a socket using a single system call. This has
performance benefits for some applications.
Receive message in scatter-gather vectors from a socket, and optionally receive ancillary data into the provided buffer. If no ancillary data is desired, use () as the type parameter.
Send data to a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read
An extension of sendmsg that allows the caller to transmit multiple
messages on a socket using a single system call. This has performance
benefits for some applications.
Send data in scatter-gather vectors to a socket, possibly accompanied by ancillary data. Optionally direct the message at the given address, as with sendto.
Send a message to a socket
Sets the value for the requested socket option
Shut down part of a full-duplex connection.
Return the appropriate SockAddr type from a sockaddr_storage of a
certain size.
Create an endpoint for communication
Create a pair of connected sockets
