Constructor Detail

UnixSocket

public UnixSocket()

Create an unconnected socket.

UnixSocket

public UnixSocket(UnixSocketAddress address)
           throws IOException

Create a socket connected to the given address.

Parameters:

address - The Unix Socket address to connect to

Throws:

IOException

UnixSocket

public UnixSocket(String address)
           throws IOException

Create a socket connected to the given address.

Parameters:

address - The Unix Socket address to connect to

Throws:

IOException

Method Detail

connect

public void connect(UnixSocketAddress address)
             throws IOException

Connect the socket to this address.

Parameters:

address - The Unix Socket address to connect to

Throws:

IOException

connect

public void connect(String address)
             throws IOException

Connect the socket to this address.

Parameters:

address - The Unix Socket address to connect to

Throws:

IOException

finalize

public void finalize()

Overrides:

finalize in class Object

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Closes the connection.

Throws:

IOException

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()

Returns an InputStream for reading from the socket.

Returns:

An InputStream connected to this socket.

getOutputStream

public OutputStream getOutputStream()

Returns an OutputStream for writing to the socket.

Returns:

An OutputStream connected to this socket.

getAddress

public UnixSocketAddress getAddress()

Returns the address this socket is connected to. Returns null if the socket is unconnected.

Returns:

The UnixSocketAddress the socket is connected to

sendCredentialByte

public void sendCredentialByte(byte data)
                        throws IOException

Send a single byte of data with credentials. (Works on BSDs)

Parameters:

data - The byte of data to send.

Throws:

IOException

recvCredentialByte

public byte recvCredentialByte()
                        throws IOException

Receive a single byte of data, with credentials. (Works on BSDs)

Parameters:

data - The byte of data to send.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

getPeerUID, getPeerPID, getPeerGID

getPassCred

public boolean getPassCred()

Get the credential passing status. (only effective on linux)

Returns:

The current status of credential passing.

See Also:

setPassCred

getPeerUID

public int getPeerUID()

Return the uid of the remote process. Some data must have been received on the socket to do this. Either setPassCred must be called on Linux first, or recvCredentialByte on BSD.

Returns:

the UID or -1 if it is not available

getPeerGID

public int getPeerGID()

Return the gid of the remote process. Some data must have been received on the socket to do this. Either setPassCred must be called on Linux first, or recvCredentialByte on BSD.

Returns:

the GID or -1 if it is not available

getPeerPID

public int getPeerPID()

Return the pid of the remote process. Some data must have been received on the socket to do this. Either setPassCred must be called on Linux first, or recvCredentialByte on BSD.

Returns:

the PID or -1 if it is not available

setPassCred

public void setPassCred(boolean enable)
                 throws IOException

Set the credential passing status. (Only does anything on linux, for other OS, you need to use send/recv credentials)

Parameters:

enable - Set to true for credentials to be passed.

Throws:

IOException

getBlocking

public boolean getBlocking()

Get the blocking mode.

Returns:

true if reads are blocking.

See Also:

setBlocking

setBlocking

public void setBlocking(boolean enable)

Set the blocking mode.

Parameters:

enable - Set to false for non-blocking reads.

isClosed

public boolean isClosed()

Check the socket status.

Returns:

true if closed.

isConnected

public boolean isConnected()

Check the socket status.

Returns:

true if connected.

isInputShutdown

public boolean isInputShutdown()

Check the socket status.

Returns:

true if the input stream has been shutdown

isOutputShutdown

public boolean isOutputShutdown()

Check the socket status.

Returns:

true if the output stream has been shutdown

shutdownInput

public void shutdownInput()

Shuts down the input stream. Subsequent reads on the associated InputStream will fail.

shutdownOutput

public void shutdownOutput()

Shuts down the output stream. Subsequent writes to the associated OutputStream will fail.

setSoTimeout

public void setSoTimeout(int timeout)

Set timeout of read requests.
