namespace Unix

The Unix namespace provides a set of tools to access unix domain socket streams

namespace contents Classes Stream - Provides a Unix domain socket implementation of the Stream object Functions bind(string) - Bind to a Unix domain socket connect(string) - Connect to a Unix domain socket at the specified location

Functions

function bind Bind to a Unix domain socket Declaration:     function bind(string path) Description: Creates a UnixStream object bound to the specified Unix domain socket. Note that the bind will fail if the file already exists, and Unix domain sockets are not automatically deleted when the server closes them, so you may need to delete a stale socket file before you can bind to it. Parameters:     Parameter #1: string path - The full path to the file to use as the named socket Returns:     An object that can accept connections, or null on error

function connect Connect to a Unix domain socket at the specified location Declaration:     function connect(string path) Parameters:     Parameter #1: string path - The full path to the named socket Returns:     An object connected to the named socket, or null if the connection could not be established
