Generated metadata helpers for UnixCredentialsMessage class surfaces.

Methods

• properties ()

  Returns property metadata for UnixCredentialsMessage.

  • @r A list.

class: UnixCredentialsMessage

[25:7] extends: object

This [class@Gio.SocketControlMessage] contains a [class@Gio.Credentials] instance. It may be sent using [method@Gio.Socket.send_message] and received using [method@Gio.Socket.receive_message] over UNIX sockets (ie: sockets in the G_SOCKET_FAMILY_UNIX family). For an easier way to send and receive credentials over stream-oriented UNIX sockets, see [method@Gio.UnixConnection.send_credentials] and [method@Gio.UnixConnection.receive_credentials]. To receive credentials of a foreign process connected to a socket, use [method@Gio.Socket.get_credentials]. Since GLib 2.72, GUnixCredentialMessage is available on all platforms. It requires underlying system support (such as Windows 10 with AF_UNIX) at run time. Before GLib 2.72, <gio/gunixcredentialsmessage.h> belonged to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you had to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it. This is no longer necessary since GLib 2.72.

Methods

• UnixCredentialsMessage (credentials = null)

  Creates a new #GUnixCredentialsMessage with credentials matching the current processes.

  • @p credentials is A #GCredentials object..

• toNativeHandle (Source)

  Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposing handle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.

  • @p Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.
  • @r A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.

• getLib ()

  Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.

  • @r The opened native library.

• handle ()

  Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.

  • @r The wrapped NativeHandle.

• isNull ()

  Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.

  • @r A bool.

• describe ()

  Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.

  • @r A string.

• asSocketControlMessage ()

  Wraps this handle as SocketControlMessage.

  • @r A SocketControlMessage object.

• get_credentials ()

  Gets the credentials stored in @message.
