Overview

A local interprocess communication clientsocket.

Only available on UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems.

Example usage:

require "socket"

sock = UNIXSocket.new("/tmp/myapp.sock")
sock.puts "message"
response = sock.gets
sock.close

Constructor Detail

def self.new(path : String, type : Type = Type::STREAM) #

Connects a named UNIX socket, bound to a filesystem pathname.

def self.new(family : Family, type : Type) #

View source
def self.new(fd : Int32, type : Type) #

Class Method Detail

def self.open(path, type : Type = Type::STREAM, &block) #

Opens an UNIX socket to a filesystem pathname, yields it to the block, then eventually closes the socket when the block returns.

Returns the value of the block.


View source
def self.pair(type : Type = Type::STREAM) #

Returns a pair of unamed UNIX sockets.

left, right = UNIXSocket.pair

spawn do
  # echo server
  message = right.gets
  right.puts message
end

left.puts "message"
left.gets # => "message"

View source
def self.pair(type : Type = Type::STREAM, &block) #

Creates a pair of unamed UNIX sockets (see .pair) and yields them to the block. Eventually closes both sockets when the block returns.

Returns the value of the block.
