Class Details¶

class Gio.UnixCredentialsMessage(**kwargs)¶

Bases:

Gio.SocketControlMessage

Abstract:

Structure:

Gio.UnixCredentialsMessageClass

This [class`Gio`.SocketControlMessage] contains a [class`Gio`.Credentials] instance. It may be sent using [method`Gio`.Socket.send_message] and received using [method`Gio`.Socket.receive_message] over UNIX sockets (ie: sockets in the G_SOCKET_FAMILY_UNIX family).

For an easier way to send and receive credentials over stream-oriented UNIX sockets, see [method`Gio`.UnixConnection.send_credentials] and [method`Gio`.UnixConnection.receive_credentials]. To receive credentials of a foreign process connected to a socket, use [method`Gio`.Socket.get_credentials].

Since GLib 2.72, GUnixCredentialMessage is available on all platforms. It requires underlying system support (such as Windows 10 with AF_UNIX) at run time.

Before GLib 2.72, <gio/gunixcredentialsmessage.h> belonged to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you had to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it. This is no longer necessary since GLib 2.72.

New in version 2.26.

classmethod is_supported()[source]¶

Returns:

True if supported, False otherwise

Return type:

bool

Checks if passing Gio.Credentials on a Gio.Socket is supported on this platform.

New in version 2.26.

classmethod new()[source]¶

Returns:

a new Gio.UnixCredentialsMessage

Return type:
