Boost.Asio provides basic support for UNIX domain sockets (also known as
|
|
local sockets). The simplest use involves creating a pair of connected
|
|
sockets. The following code:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">local::stream_protocol::socket socket1(my_io_context);
|
|
local::stream_protocol::socket socket2(my_io_context);
|
|
local::connect_pair(socket1, socket2);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
will create a pair of stream-oriented sockets. To do the same for datagram-oriented
|
|
sockets, use:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">local::datagram_protocol::socket socket1(my_io_context);
|
|
local::datagram_protocol::socket socket2(my_io_context);
|
|
local::connect_pair(socket1, socket2);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A UNIX domain socket server may be created by binding an acceptor to an
|
|
endpoint, in much the same way as one does for a TCP server:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">::unlink("/tmp/foobar"); // Remove previous binding.
|
|
local::stream_protocol::endpoint ep("/tmp/foobar");
|
|
local::stream_protocol::acceptor acceptor(my_io_context, ep);
|
|
local::stream_protocol::socket socket(my_io_context);
|
|
acceptor.accept(socket);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A client that connects to this server might look like:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting">local::stream_protocol::endpoint ep("/tmp/foobar");
|
|
local::stream_protocol::socket socket(my_io_context);
|
|
socket.connect(ep);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Transmission of file descriptors or credentials across UNIX domain sockets
|
|
is not directly supported within Boost.Asio, but may be achieved by accessing
|
|
the socket's underlying descriptor using the <a class="link" href="../../reference/basic_socket/native_handle.html" title="basic_socket::native_handle">native_handle()</a>
|
|
member function.

UNIX domain sockets are only available at compile time if supported by
|
|
the target operating system. A program may test for the macro <code class="computeroutput">BOOST_ASIO_HAS_LOCAL_SOCKETS</code>
|
|
to determine whether they are supported.
