## Detailed Description

UnixFDMessage — A GSocketControlMessage containing a GUnixFDList.

This SocketControlMessage contains a UnixFDList. It may be sent using Gio::Socket::send() and received using Gio::Socket::receive() over UNIX sockets (ie: sockets in the Gio::SOCKET_ADDRESS_UNIX family). The file descriptors are copied between processes by the kernel.

For an easier way to send and receive file descriptors over stream-oriented UNIX sockets, see Gio::UnixConnection::send_fd() and Gio::UnixConnection::receive_fd().

## Member Function Documentation

bool Gio::UnixFDMessage::append_fd | ( | int | fd | ) |

Adds a file descriptor to message.

The file descriptor is duplicated using dup(). You keep your copy of the descriptor and the copy contained in message will be closed when message is finalized.

A possible cause of failure is exceeding the per-process or system-wide file descriptor limit.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  fd | A valid open file descriptor.

Returns
  `true` in case of success, else `false` (and error is set).

static Glib::RefPtr<UnixFDMessage> Gio::UnixFDMessage::create | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates a new UnixFDMessage containing an empty file descriptor list.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Returns
  A new UnixFDMessage.

static Glib::RefPtr<UnixFDMessage> Gio::UnixFDMessage::create | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< UnixFDList >& | fd_list | ) |
| static

Creates a new UnixFDMessage containing list.

Since glibmm 2.24:

Parameters

  fd_list | A UnixFDList.

Returns
  A new UnixFDMessage.

Glib::RefPtr<UnixFDList> Gio::UnixFDMessage::get_fd_list | ( |  | ) |

Gets the UnixFDList contained in message.

This function does not return a reference to the caller, but the returned list is valid for the lifetime of message.

Since glibmm 2.24:

Returns
  The UnixFDList from message.

Glib::RefPtr<const UnixFDList> Gio::UnixFDMessage::get_fd_list | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the UnixFDList contained in message.

This function does not return a reference to the caller, but the returned list is valid for the lifetime of message.

Since glibmm 2.24:

Returns
  The UnixFDList from message.

static GType Gio::UnixFDMessage::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

GUnixFDMessage* Gio::UnixFDMessage::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GUnixFDMessage* Gio::UnixFDMessage::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GUnixFDMessage* Gio::UnixFDMessage::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<UnixFDList> > Gio::UnixFDMessage::property_fd_list | ( |  | ) | const

The GUnixFDList object to send with the message.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::ArrayHandle<int> Gio::UnixFDMessage::steal_fds | ( |  | ) |

Returns the array of file descriptors that is contained in this object.

After this call, the descriptors are no longer contained in message. Further calls will return an empty list (unless more descriptors have been added).

The caller is responsible for closing all of the file descriptors.

Returns
  An array of file descriptors.

Since glibmm 2.28:

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::UnixFDMessage > wrap | ( | GUnixFDMessage * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  |
| related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
