twisted.internet.unix : API documentation

UNIX socket support for Twisted.

End users shouldn't use this module directly - use the reactor APIs instead.

Maintainer: Itamar Shtull-Trauring

Class	Server	No class docstring; 1/1 class methods, 0/3 methods documented
Class	Port	No class docstring; 1/1 class methods, 2/6 methods documented
Class	Client	A client for Unix sockets.
Class	Connector	Undocumented
Class	DatagramPort	Datagram UNIX port, listening for packets.
Class	ConnectedDatagramPort	A connected datagram UNIX socket.
Function	_ancillaryDescriptor	Pack an integer into an ancillary data structure suitable for use with `sendmsg.sendmsg`.
Class	_SendmsgMixin	Mixin for stream-oriented UNIX transports which uses sendmsg and recvmsg to offer additional functionality, such as copying file descriptors into other processes.
Class	_UnsupportedSendmsgMixin	Behaviorless placeholder used when `twisted.python.sendmsg` is not available, preventing `IUNIXTransport` from being supported.
Function	_inFilesystemNamespace	Determine whether the given unix socket path is in a filesystem namespace.
Class	_UNIXPort	No class docstring; 1/1 methods documented

def _ancillaryDescriptor(fd): (source)

Pack an integer into an ancillary data structure suitable for use with sendmsg.sendmsg.

def _inFilesystemNamespace(path): (source)

Determine whether the given unix socket path is in a filesystem namespace.

While most PF_UNIX sockets are entries in the filesystem, Linux 2.2 and above support PF_UNIX sockets in an "abstract namespace" that does not correspond to any path. This function returns True if the given socket path is stored in the filesystem and False if the path is in this abstract namespace.
