Module nix::sys::socket [−] [src]

Socket interface functions

Modules

CmsgIterator
CmsgSpace	A structure used to make room in a cmsghdr passed to recvmsg. The size and alignment match that of a cmsghdr followed by a T, but the fields are not accessible, as the actual types will change on a call to recvmsg.
Ipv4Addr
Ipv6Addr
MsgFlags
NetlinkAddr
RecvMsg
SockFlag
UnixAddr	A wrapper around sockaddr_un. We track the length of sun_path, because it may not be null-terminated (unconnected and abstract sockets). Note that the actual sockaddr length is greater by size_of::().
in6_addr
in_addr
ip_mreq
ipv6_mreq
linger
sockaddr
sockaddr_in
sockaddr_in6
sockaddr_storage
sockaddr_un
ucred

AddressFamily
ControlMessage	A type-safe wrapper around a single control message. More types may be added to this enum; do not exhaustively pattern-match it. Further reading
InetAddr
IpAddr
Shutdown
SockAddr	Represents a socket address
SockLevel	The protocol level at which to get / set socket options. Used as an argument to `getsockopt` and `setsockopt`.
SockType

GetSockOpt	Represents a socket option that can be accessed or set. Used as an argument to `getsockopt`
SetSockOpt	Represents a socket option that can be accessed or set. Used as an argument to `setsockopt`

accept	Accept a connection on a socket
accept4	Accept a connection on a socket
bind	Bind a name to a socket
connect	Initiate a connection on a socket
getpeername	Get the address of the peer connected to the socket `fd`.
getsockname	Get the current address to which the socket `fd` is bound.
getsockopt	Get the current value for the requested socket option
listen	Listen for connections on a socket
recv	Receive data from a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read
recvfrom	Receive data from a connectionless or connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read and the socket address of the sender.
recvmsg	Receive message in scatter-gather vectors from a socket, and optionally receive ancillary data into the provided buffer. If no ancillary data is desired, use () as the type parameter.
send	Send data to a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read
sendmsg	Send data in scatter-gather vectors to a socket, possibly accompanied by ancillary data. Optionally direct the message at the given address, as with sendto.
sendto
setsockopt	Sets the value for the requested socket option
shutdown	Shut down part of a full-duplex connection.
sockaddr_storage_to_addr ^⚠
socket	Create an endpoint for communication
socketpair	Create a pair of connected sockets
