unix_rights 2

ancillarydata.unix_rights => array-of-IOs or nil

Instance Public methods

returns the array of IO objects for SCM_RIGHTS control message in UNIX domain socket.

The class of the IO objects in the array is IO or Socket.

The array is attached to ancillarydata when it is instantiated. For example, BasicSocket#recvmsg attach the array when receives a SCM_RIGHTS control message and :scm_rights=>true option is given.

# recvmsg needs :scm_rights=>true for unix_rights
s1, s2 = UNIXSocket.pair
p s1                                         #=> #<UNIXSocket:fd 3>
s1.sendmsg "stdin and a socket", 0, nil, Socket::AncillaryData.unix_rights(STDIN, s1)
_, _, _, ctl = s2.recvmsg(:scm_rights=>true)
p ctl                                        #=> #<Socket::AncillaryData: UNIX SOCKET RIGHTS 6 7>
p ctl.unix_rights                            #=> [#<IO:fd 6>, #<Socket:fd 7>]
p File.identical?(STDIN, ctl.unix_rights[0]) #=> true
p File.identical?(s1, ctl.unix_rights[1])    #=> true

# If :scm_rights=>true is not given, unix_rights returns nil
s1, s2 = UNIXSocket.pair
s1.sendmsg "stdin and a socket", 0, nil, Socket::AncillaryData.unix_rights(STDIN, s1)
_, _, _, ctl = s2.recvmsg
p ctl #=> #<Socket::AncillaryData: UNIX SOCKET RIGHTS 6 7>
p ctl.unix_rights #=> nil
