Struct std::os::unix::net::SocketAncillary

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

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Unix only.

A Unix socket Ancillary data struct.

Example

#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary, AncillaryData};
use std::io::IoSliceMut;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

    let mut fds = [0; 8];
    let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
    let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);

    let mut buf = [1; 8];
    let mut bufs = &mut [IoSliceMut::new(&mut buf[..])][..];
    sock.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;

    for ancillary_result in ancillary.messages() {
        if let AncillaryData::ScmRights(scm_rights) = ancillary_result.unwrap() {
            for fd in scm_rights {
                println!("receive file descriptor: {fd}");
            }
        }
    }
    Ok(())
}

Implementations

impl<'a> SocketAncillary<'a>

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

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Create an ancillary data with the given buffer.

Example

#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::SocketAncillary;
let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);

pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Returns the capacity of the buffer.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Returns true if the ancillary data is empty.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Returns the number of used bytes.

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

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Returns the iterator of the control messages.

pub fn truncated(&self) -> bool

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

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

Example

#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary};
use std::io::IoSliceMut;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

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

    let mut buf = [1; 8];
    let mut bufs = &mut [IoSliceMut::new(&mut buf[..])][..];
    sock.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;

    println!("Is truncated: {}", ancillary.truncated());
    Ok(())
}

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

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

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.

Example

#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary};
use std::os::unix::io::AsRawFd;
use std::io::IoSlice;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

    let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
    let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);
    ancillary.add_fds(&[sock.as_raw_fd()][..]);

    let mut buf = [1; 8];
    let mut bufs = &mut [IoSlice::new(&mut buf[..])][..];
    sock.send_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;
    Ok(())
}

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

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

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)

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Clears the ancillary data, removing all values.

Example

#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary, AncillaryData};
use std::io::IoSliceMut;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

    let mut fds1 = [0; 8];
    let mut fds2 = [0; 8];
    let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
    let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);

    let mut buf = [1; 8];
    let mut bufs = &mut [IoSliceMut::new(&mut buf[..])][..];

    sock.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;
    for ancillary_result in ancillary.messages() {
        if let AncillaryData::ScmRights(scm_rights) = ancillary_result.unwrap() {
            for fd in scm_rights {
                println!("receive file descriptor: {fd}");
            }
        }
    }

    ancillary.clear();

    sock.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;
    for ancillary_result in ancillary.messages() {
        if let AncillaryData::ScmRights(scm_rights) = ancillary_result.unwrap() {
            for fd in scm_rights {
                println!("receive file descriptor: {fd}");
            }
        }
    }
    Ok(())
}
