Asio provides basic support for UNIX domain sockets (also known as local
|
||
|
|
sockets). The simplest use involves creating a pair of connected sockets.
|
||
|
|
The following code:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream_protocol</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">socket1</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream_protocol</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">socket2</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">connect_pair</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">socket1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">socket2</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
will create a pair of stream-oriented sockets. To do the same for datagram-oriented
|
||
|
|
sockets, use:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">datagram_protocol</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">socket1</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">datagram_protocol</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">socket2</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">connect_pair</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">socket1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">socket2</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|

|

A UNIX domain socket server may be created by binding an acceptor to an
|
||
|
|
endpoint, in much the same way as one does for a TCP server:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">unlink</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"/tmp/foobar"</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// Remove previous binding.</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream_protocol</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">endpoint</span> <span class="identifier">ep</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"/tmp/foobar"</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream_protocol</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">acceptor</span> <span class="identifier">acceptor</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">ep</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream_protocol</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">acceptor</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">accept</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
A client that connects to this server might look like:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream_protocol</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">endpoint</span> <span class="identifier">ep</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"/tmp/foobar"</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">local</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream_protocol</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
||
|
|
<span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">connect</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">ep</span><span class="special">);</span>

</pre>

Transmission of file descriptors or credentials across UNIX domain sockets
|
||
|
|
is not directly supported within Asio, but may be achieved by accessing
|
||
|
|
the socket's underlying descriptor using the <a class="link" href="../../reference/basic_socket/native_handle.html" title="basic_socket::native_handle">native_handle()</a>
|
||
|
|
member function.

UNIX domain sockets are only available at compile time if supported by
|
||
|
|
the target operating system. A program may test for the macro <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ASIO_HAS_LOCAL_SOCKETS</span></code> to determine whether
|
||
|
|
they are supported.
