[][src]Struct unix_socket::UnixListener

pub struct UnixListener { /* fields omitted */ }

A structure representing a Unix domain socket server.

Examples

use std::thread;
use unix_socket::{UnixStream, UnixListener};

fn handle_client(stream: UnixStream) {
    // ...
}

let listener = UnixListener::bind("/path/to/the/socket").unwrap();

// accept connections and process them, spawning a new thread for each one
for stream in listener.incoming() {
    match stream {
        Ok(stream) => {
            /* connection succeeded */
            thread::spawn(|| handle_client(stream));
        }
        Err(err) => {
            /* connection failed */
            break;
        }
    }
}

// close the listener socket
drop(listener);

Methods

impl UnixListener[src]

pub fn bind<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<UnixListener>[src]

Creates a new UnixListener bound to the specified socket.

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.

pub fn accept(&self) -> Result<(UnixStream, SocketAddr)>[src]

Accepts a new incoming connection to this listener.

This function will block the calling thread until a new Unix connection is established. When established, the corersponding UnixStream and the remote peer's address will be returned.

pub fn try_clone(&self) -> Result<UnixListener>[src]

Creates a new independently owned handle to the underlying socket.

The returned UnixListener is a reference to the same socket that this object references. Both handles can be used to accept incoming connections and options set on one listener will affect the other.

pub fn local_addr(&self) -> Result<SocketAddr>[src]

Returns the local socket address of this listener.

pub fn set_nonblocking(&self, nonblocking: bool) -> Result<()>[src]

Moves the socket into or out of nonblocking mode.

pub fn take_error(&self) -> Result<Option<Error>>[src]

Returns the value of the SO_ERROR option.

Important traits for Incoming<'a>
pub fn incoming<'a>(&'a self) -> Incoming<'a>[src]

Returns an iterator over incoming connections.

The iterator will never return None and will also not yield the peer's SocketAddr structure.
