IO::Socket::UNIX - Object interface for AF_UNIX domain sockets
use IO::Socket::UNIX;
my $SOCK_PATH = "$ENV{HOME}/unix-domain-socket-test.sock";
# Server:
my $server = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(
Type => SOCK_STREAM(),
Local => $SOCK_PATH,
Listen => 1,
);
my $count = 1;
while (my $conn = $server->accept()) {
$conn->print("Hello " . ($count++) . "\n");
}
# Client:
my $client = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(
Type => SOCK_STREAM(),
Peer => $SOCK_PATH,
);
# Now read and write from $client
IO::Socket::UNIX provides an object interface to creating and using sockets
in the AF_UNIX domain. It is built upon the the IO::Socket manpage interface and
inherits all the methods defined by the IO::Socket manpage.
- new ( [ARGS] )
-
Creates an
IO::Socket::UNIX object, which is a reference to a
newly created symbol (see the Symbol package). new
optionally takes arguments, these arguments are in key-value pairs.
In addition to the key-value pairs accepted by the IO::Socket manpage,
IO::Socket::UNIX provides.
Type Type of socket (eg SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM)
Local Path to local fifo
Peer Path to peer fifo
Listen Queue size for listen
If the constructor is only passed a single argument, it is assumed to
be a Peer specification.
If the Listen argument is given, but false, the queue size will be set to 5.
- hostpath()
-
Returns the pathname to the fifo at the local end
- peerpath()
-
Returns the pathanme to the fifo at the peer end
