Constructor Detail

def self.new(path : String, type : Type = Type::STREAM)Source

Connects a named UNIX socket, bound to a filesystem pathname.

def self.new(*, fd : Handle, type : Type = Type::STREAM, path : String? = nil)Source

Creates a UNIXSocket from an already configured raw file descriptor

Class Method Detail

def self.open(path, type : Type = Type::STREAM, &)Source

Opens an UNIX socket to a filesystem pathname, yields it to the block, then eventually closes the socket when the block returns.

Returns the value of the block.

def self.pair(type : Type = Type::STREAM) : Tuple(UNIXSocket, UNIXSocket)Source

Returns a pair of unnamed UNIX sockets.

require "socket"

left, right = UNIXSocket.pair

spawn do
  # echo server
  message = right.gets
  right.puts message
end

left.puts "message"
left.gets # => "message"

def self.pair(type : Type = Type::STREAM, &)Source

Creates a pair of unnamed UNIX sockets (see .pair) and yields them to the block. Eventually closes both sockets when the block returns.

Returns the value of the block.

Instance Method Detail

def local_address : Socket::UNIXAddressSource

def path : String?Source

def receiveSource

Description copied from class Socket

Receives a text message from the previously bound address.

require "socket"

server = Socket.udp(Socket::Family::INET)
server.bind("localhost", 1234)

message, client_addr = server.receive
