Detailed Description

Unix domain sockets are used for stream based connected sessions between processes on the same machine. bound server for Unix domain streams and sessions.

An implicit and unique UnixSocket object exists in Common C++ to represent a bound Unix domain socket acting as a "server" for receiving connection requests. This class is not part of UnixStream because such objects normally perform no physical I/O (read or write operations) other than to specify a listen backlog queue and perform "accept" operations for pending connections.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::UnixSocket::UnixSocket (  const char *    pathname, int    backlog = 5 )

A Unix domain "server" is created as a Unix domain socket that is bound to a pathname and that has a backlog queue to listen for connection requests. If the server cannot be created, an exception is thrown. Parameters: pathname  pathname to socket file backlog  size of connection request queue.

virtual ost::UnixSocket::~UnixSocket (    )  [inline, virtual]

Use base socket handler for ending this socket.
