UnixFDList

UnixFDList

Object Hierarchy:

Description:

public class UnixFDList : Object

A UnixFDList contains a list of file descriptors.

It owns the file descriptors that it contains, closing them when finalized.

It may be wrapped in a GUnixFDMessage and sent over a Socket in the g_socket_address_unix family by using send_message and received using receive_message.

Note that `<gio/gunixfdlist.h>` belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the `gio-unix-2.0.pc` pkg-config file when using it.

Namespace: GLib

Package: gio-2.0
