Socket options as used by setsockopt and getsockopt.

Structs

Request for multicast socket operations

Request for ipv6 multicast socket operations

Hardware Address

Flags for send/recv and their relatives

RecvMmsgData any(target_os = "linux", target_os = "android", target_os = "freebsd", target_os = "netbsd",)

SendMmsgData any(target_os = "linux", target_os = "android", target_os = "freebsd", target_os = "netbsd",)

Additional socket options

A wrapper around sockaddr_un.

Unix credentials of the sending process.

Enums

These constants specify the protocol family to be used in socket and socketpair

A type-safe zero-copy wrapper around a single control message, as used wih sendmsg. More types may be added to this enum; do not exhaustively pattern-match it.

A type-safe wrapper around a single control message, as used with recvmsg.

Represents a socket address

Constants used in socket and socketpair to specify the protocol to use.

These constants are used to specify the communication semantics when creating a socket with socket()

Functions

Accept a connection on a socket

accept4 any(all(target_os = "android", any(target_arch = "aarch64", target_arch = "x86", target_arch = "x86_64")), target_os = "freebsd", target_os = "linux", target_os = "openbsd")

Accept a connection on a socket

Bind a name to a socket

Initiate a connection on a socket

Get the address of the peer connected to the socket fd.

Get the current address to which the socket fd is bound.

Get the current value for the requested socket option

Listen for connections on a socket

Receive data from a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read

Receive data from a connectionless or connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read and, for connectionless sockets, the socket address of the sender.

recvmmsg any(target_os = "linux", target_os = "android", target_os = "freebsd", target_os = "netbsd",)

An extension of recvmsg that allows the caller to receive multiple messages from a socket using a single system call. This has performance benefits for some applications.

Receive message in scatter-gather vectors from a socket, and optionally receive ancillary data into the provided buffer. If no ancillary data is desired, use () as the type parameter.

Send data to a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read

sendmmsg any(target_os = "linux", target_os = "android", target_os = "freebsd", target_os = "netbsd",)

An extension of sendmsg that allows the caller to transmit multiple messages on a socket using a single system call. This has performance benefits for some applications.

Send data in scatter-gather vectors to a socket, possibly accompanied by ancillary data. Optionally direct the message at the given address, as with sendto.

Send a message to a socket

Sets the value for the requested socket option

Shut down part of a full-duplex connection.

Return the appropriate SockAddr type from a sockaddr_storage of a certain size.

Create an endpoint for communication

Create a pair of connected sockets

Traits

Represents a socket option that can be retrieved.

Represents a socket option that can be set.
