Struct SocketAncillary 

pub struct SocketAncillary<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A Unix socket Ancillary data struct.

Implementations

impl<'a> SocketAncillary<'a>

pub fn new(buffer: &'a mut [u8]) -> Self

Create an ancillary data with the given buffer.

Example

use posix_socket::ancillary::SocketAncillary;
let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);

pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize

Returns the capacity of the buffer.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of used bytes.

pub fn messages(&self) -> Messages<'_>

Returns the iterator of the control messages.

pub fn truncated(&self) -> bool

Is true if during a recv operation the ancillary was truncated.

pub fn add_fds(&mut self, fds: &[RawFd]) -> bool

Add file descriptors to the ancillary data.

The function returns true if there was enough space in the buffer. If there was not enough space then no file descriptors was appended. Technically, that means this operation adds a control message with the level SOL_SOCKET and type SCM_RIGHTS.

pub fn add_creds(&mut self, creds: &[SocketCred]) -> bool

Add credentials to the ancillary data.

The function returns true if there was enough space in the buffer. If there was not enough space then no credentials was appended. Technically, that means this operation adds a control message with the level SOL_SOCKET and type SCM_CREDENTIALS or SCM_CREDS.

pub fn clear(&mut self)

Clears the ancillary data, removing all values.

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.
