Struct unix_socket::UnixStream

pub struct UnixStream {
    // some fields omitted
}

A Unix stream socket.

Examples

use unix_socket::UnixStream;
use std::io::prelude::*;

let mut stream = UnixStream::connect("/path/to/my/socket").unwrap();
stream.write_all(b"hello world").unwrap();
let mut response = String::new();
stream.read_to_string(&mut response).unwrap();
println!("{}", response);

Methods

impl UnixStream

fn connect<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<UnixStream>

Connect to the socket named by path.

Linux provides, as a nonportable extension, a separate "abstract" address namespace as opposed to filesystem-based addressing. If path begins with a null byte, it will be interpreted as an "abstract" address. Otherwise, it will be interpreted as a "pathname" address, corresponding to a path on the filesystem.

fn pair() -> Result<(UnixStream, UnixStream)>

Create an unnamed pair of connected sockets.

Returns two UnixStreams which are connected to each other.

fn unnamed() -> Result<(UnixStream, UnixStream)>

Deprecated

Use UnixStream::pair instead.

fn try_clone(&self) -> Result<UnixStream>

Create 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 propogated to the other stream.

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

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

fn peer_addr(&self) -> Result<SocketAddr>

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

fn shutdown(&self, how: Shutdown) -> Result<()>

Shut 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).

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for UnixStream

fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Read for UnixStream

fn read(&mut self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize>

Pull some bytes from this source into the specified buffer, returning how many bytes were read.

fn read_to_end(&mut self, buf: &mut Vec<u8>) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, placing them into buf.

fn read_to_string(&mut self, buf: &mut String) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, placing them into buf.

fn read_exact(&mut self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

fn by_ref(&mut self) -> &mut Self

fn bytes(self) -> Bytes<Self>

Transforms this Read instance to an Iterator over its bytes.

fn chars(self) -> Chars<Self>

Unstable (io)
