Expand description

A Unix stream socket.

Examples

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
use std::io::prelude::*;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let mut stream = UnixStream::connect("/path/to/my/socket")?;
    stream.write_all(b"hello world")?;
    let mut response = String::new();
    stream.read_to_string(&mut response)?;
    println!("{response}");
    Ok(())
}

Implementations

Available on Unix only.

Connects to the socket named by path.

Examples
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

let socket = match UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock") {
    Ok(sock) => sock,
    Err(e) => {
        println!("Couldn't connect: {e:?}");
        return
    }
};
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_abstract)
Available on Unix only.

Connects to the socket specified by address.

Examples
#![feature(unix_socket_abstract)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixListener, UnixStream};

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let listener = UnixListener::bind("/path/to/the/socket")?;
    let addr = listener.local_addr()?;

    let sock = match UnixStream::connect_addr(&addr) {
        Ok(sock) => sock,
        Err(e) => {
            println!("Couldn't connect: {e:?}");
            return Err(e)
        }
    };
    Ok(())
}
Available on Unix only.

Creates an unnamed pair of connected sockets.

Returns two UnixStreams which are connected to each other.

Examples
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

let (sock1, sock2) = match UnixStream::pair() {
    Ok((sock1, sock2)) => (sock1, sock2),
    Err(e) => {
        println!("Couldn't create a pair of sockets: {e:?}");
        return
    }
};
Available on Unix only.

Creates a new independently owned handle to the underlying socket.

The returned UnixStream is a reference to the same stream that this object references. Both handles will read and write the same stream of data, and options set on one stream will be propagated to the other stream.

Examples
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
    let sock_copy = socket.try_clone().expect("Couldn't clone socket");
    Ok(())
}
Available on Unix only.

Returns the socket address of the local half of this connection.

Examples
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
    let addr = socket.local_addr().expect("Couldn't get local address");
    Ok(())
}
Available on Unix only.

    Ok(())
}

Examples
#![feature(peer_credentials_unix_socket)]
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {

    let peer_cred = socket.peer_cred().expect("Couldn't get peer credentials");
    Ok(())
}
Available on Unix only.

Sets the read timeout for the socket.

If the provided value is None, then read calls will block indefinitely. An Err is returned if the zero Duration is passed to this method.

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
    socket.set_read_timeout(Some(Duration::new(1, 0))).expect("Couldn't set read timeout");
    Ok(())
}

An Err is returned if the zero Duration is passed to this method:

use std::io;
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
    let result = socket.set_read_timeout(Some(Duration::new(0, 0)));
    let err = result.unwrap_err();
    assert_eq!(err.kind(), io::ErrorKind::InvalidInput);
    Ok(())
}
Available on Unix only.

Sets the write timeout for the socket.

If the provided value is None, then write calls will block indefinitely. An Err is returned if the zero Duration is passed to this method.

Examples
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
    socket.set_write_timeout(Some(Duration::new(1, 0)))
        .expect("Couldn't set write timeout");
    Ok(())
}

An Err is returned if the zero Duration is passed to this method:

use std::io;
use std::net::UdpSocket;
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UdpSocket::bind("127.0.0.1:34254")?;

        .expect("Couldn't set write timeout");
    assert_eq!(socket.write_timeout()?, Some(Duration::new(1, 0)));
    Ok(())
}
Available on Unix only.

Moves the socket into or out of nonblocking mode.

Examples
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
    socket.set_nonblocking(true).expect("Couldn't set nonblocking");
    Ok(())
}
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data)

Platform specific

On Redox this always returns None.

Available on Unix only.

Shuts down the read, write, or both halves of this connection.

This function will cause all pending and future I/O calls on the specified portions to immediately return with an appropriate value (see the documentation of Shutdown).

Examples
use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;
use std::net::Shutdown;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
    socket.shutdown(Shutdown::Both).expect("shutdown function failed");
    Ok(())
}
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_peek)
Available on Unix only.

Receives data on the socket from the remote address to which it is connected, without removing that data from the queue. On success, returns the number of bytes peeked.

Successive calls return the same data. This is accomplished by passing MSG_PEEK as a flag to the underlying recv system call.

Examples
#![feature(unix_socket_peek)]

use std::os::unix::net::UnixStream;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;
    let mut buf = [0; 10];
    let len = socket.peek(&mut buf).expect("peek failed");
    Ok(())
}
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data)
Available on Unix only.

Receives data and ancillary data from socket.

On success, returns the number of bytes read.

    ][..];
    let mut fds = [0; 8];
    let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
    let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);
    let size = socket.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;
    println!("received {size}");
    for ancillary_result in ancillary.messages() {
        if let AncillaryData::ScmRights(scm_rights) = ancillary_result.unwrap() {
