Method
GioUnixConnectionreceive_credentials
since: 2.26
Declaration [src]
GCredentials*
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials (
GUnixConnection* connection,
GCancellable* cancellable,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Receives credentials from the sending end of the connection. The
sending end has to call g_unix_connection_send_credentials() (or
similar) for this to work.
As well as reading the credentials this also reads (and discards) a single byte from the stream, as this is required for credentials passing to work on some implementations.
This method can be expected to be available on the following platforms:
- Linux since GLib 2.26
- FreeBSD since GLib 2.26
- GNU/kFreeBSD since GLib 2.36
- Solaris, Illumos and OpenSolaris since GLib 2.40
- GNU/Hurd since GLib 2.40
Other ways to exchange credentials with a foreign peer includes the
GUnixCredentialsMessage type and g_socket_get_credentials() function.
