Detailed Description

A Socket control message.

A SocketControlMessage is a special-purpose utility message that can be sent to or received from a Socket. These types of messages are often called "ancillary data".

The message can represent some sort of special instruction to or information from the socket or can represent a special kind of transfer to the peer (for example, sending a file description over a UNIX socket).

These messages are sent with Gio::Socket::send() and received with Gio::Socket::receive().

To extend the set of control message that can be sent, subclass this class and override the get_size_vfunc(), get_level_vfunc(), get_type_vfunc() and serialize_vfunc() methods.

To extend the set of control messages that can be received, subclass this class and implement a DeserializeFunc function. Typically it would be a static class method. Also, make sure you register the DeserializeFunc function with a call to add_deserialize_func() before calling Gio::Socket::receive() to read such a message.

Since glibmm 2.28:

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ DeserializeFunc

using Gio::SocketControlMessage::DeserializeFunc = Glib::RefPtr<SocketControlMessage> (*) (int level, int type, gsize size, gpointer data)
protected

Pointer to a function that can be called from deserialize() or g_socket_control_message_deserialize().

For instance,

int level, int type, gsize size, gpointer data);
valarray< size_t > size() const
Parameters
levelA socket level.
typeA socket control message type for the given level.
sizeThe size of the data in bytes.
dataPointer to the message data (element-type guint8).
Returns
The deserialized message or an empty Glib::RefPtr. The returned message can be a subclass of SocketControlMessage.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_deserialize_func()

static void Gio::SocketControlMessage::add_deserialize_func ( DeserializeFunc  func)
staticprotected

Register a deserialize function.

If the same function is registered multiple times, only the first registration has an effect.

In GLib, deserialize() is a class virtual function (not associated with an instance). Such functions don't exist in C++. A function registered with add_deserialize_func() is a kind of replacement.

◆ deserialize()

static Glib::RefPtr< SocketControlMessage > Gio::SocketControlMessage::deserialize ( int  level,
int  type,
gsize  size,
gpointer  data 
)
static

Tries to deserialize a socket control message of a given level and type.

This will ask all known (to GType) subclasses of SocketControlMessage if they can understand this kind of message and if so deserialize it into a SocketControlMessage.

If there is no implementation for this kind of control message, nullptr will be returned.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Parameters
levelA socket level.
typeA socket control message type for the given level.
sizeThe size of the data in bytes.
dataPointer to the message data.
Returns
The deserialized message or nullptr.

◆ get_level()

int Gio::SocketControlMessage::get_level ( ) const

Returns the "level" (i.e. the originating protocol) of the control message.

This is often SOL_SOCKET.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Returns
An integer describing the level.

◆ get_level_vfunc()

virtual int Gio::SocketControlMessage::get_level_vfunc ( ) const
protectedvirtual

◆ get_msg_type()

int Gio::SocketControlMessage::get_msg_type ( ) const

Returns the protocol specific type of the control message.

For instance, for UNIX fd passing this would be SCM_RIGHTS.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Returns
An integer describing the type of control message.

◆ get_size()

gsize Gio::SocketControlMessage::get_size ( ) const

Returns the space required for the control message, not including headers or alignment.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Returns
The number of bytes required.

◆ get_size_vfunc()

virtual gsize Gio::SocketControlMessage::get_size_vfunc ( ) const
protectedvirtual

◆ get_type()

static GType Gio::SocketControlMessage::get_type ( )
static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

◆ get_type_vfunc()

virtual int Gio::SocketControlMessage::get_type_vfunc ( ) const
protectedvirtual

◆ gobj() [1/2]

GSocketControlMessage * Gio::SocketControlMessage::gobj ( )
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GSocketControlMessage * Gio::SocketControlMessage::gobj ( ) const
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj_copy()

GSocketControlMessage * Gio::SocketControlMessage::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

◆ operator=()

SocketControlMessage & Gio::SocketControlMessage::operator= ( SocketControlMessage &&  src)
noexcept

◆ serialize()

void Gio::SocketControlMessage::serialize ( gpointer  data)

Converts the data in the message to bytes placed in the message.

data is guaranteed to have enough space to fit the size returned by g_socket_control_message_get_size() on this object.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Parameters
dataA buffer to write data to.

◆ serialize_vfunc()

virtual void Gio::SocketControlMessage::serialize_vfunc ( gpointer  data)
protectedvirtual

Friends And Related Function Documentation

◆ wrap()

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::SocketControlMessage > wrap ( GSocketControlMessage *  object,
bool  take_copy = false 
)
related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters
objectThe C instance.
take_copyFalse if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
Returns
A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
