Struct tokio::net::UnixListener

pub struct UnixListener { /* fields omitted */ }

A Unix socket which can accept connections from other Unix sockets.

You can accept a new connection by using the accept method. Alternatively UnixListener implements the Stream trait, which allows you to use the listener in places that want a stream. The stream will never return None and will also not yield the peer’s SocketAddr structure. Iterating over it is equivalent to calling accept in a loop.

Errors

Note that accepting a connection can lead to various errors and not all of them are necessarily fatal ‒ for example having too many open file descriptors or the other side closing the connection while it waits in an accept queue. These would terminate the stream if not handled in any way.

Examples

use tokio::net::UnixListener;
use tokio::stream::StreamExt;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mut listener = UnixListener::bind("/path/to/the/socket").unwrap();
    while let Some(stream) = listener.next().await {
        match stream {
            Ok(stream) => {
                println!("new client!");
            }
            Err(e) => { /* connection failed */ }
        }
    }
}

Implementations

impl UnixListener

pub fn bind<P>(path: P) -> Result<UnixListener> where
    P: AsRef<Path>, 

Creates a new UnixListener bound to the specified path.

Panics

This function panics if thread-local runtime is not set.

The runtime is usually set implicitly when this function is called from a future driven by a tokio runtime, otherwise runtime can be set explicitly with Runtime::enter function.

pub fn from_std(listener: UnixListener) -> Result<UnixListener>

Creates new UnixListener from a std::os::unix::net::UnixListener .

This function is intended to be used to wrap a UnixListener from the standard library in the Tokio equivalent. The conversion assumes nothing about the underlying listener; it is left up to the user to set it in non-blocking mode.

Panics

This function panics if thread-local runtime is not set.

The runtime is usually set implicitly when this function is called from a future driven by a tokio runtime, otherwise runtime can be set explicitly with Runtime::enter function.

pub fn local_addr(&self) -> Result<SocketAddr>

Returns the local socket address of this listener.

pub fn take_error(&self) -> Result<Option<Error>>

Returns the value of the SO_ERROR option.

pub async fn accept(&self) -> Result<(UnixStream, SocketAddr)>

Accepts a new incoming connection to this listener.

pub fn poll_accept(
    &self,
    cx: &mut Context<'_>
) -> Poll<Result<(UnixStream, SocketAddr)>>

Polls to accept a new incoming connection to this listener.

If there is no connection to accept, Poll::Pending is returned and the current task will be notified by a waker.

When ready, the most recent task that called poll_accept is notified. The caller is responsible to ensure that poll_accept is called from a single task. Failing to do this could result in tasks hanging.

Trait Implementations

impl AsRawFd for UnixListener

fn as_raw_fd(&self) -> RawFd

Extracts the raw file descriptor.

impl Debug for UnixListener

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Stream for UnixListener

type Item = Result<UnixStream>

Values yielded by the stream.

fn poll_next(
    self: Pin<&mut Self>,
    cx: &mut Context<'_>
) -> Poll<Option<Self::Item>>

Attempt to pull out the next value of this stream, registering the current task for wakeup if the value is not yet available, and returning None if the stream is exhausted.

pub fn size_hint(&self) -> (usize, Option<usize>)

Returns the bounds on the remaining length of the stream.

impl TryFrom<UnixListener> for UnixListener

type Error = Error

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

fn try_from(stream: UnixListener) -> Result<Self>

Consumes stream, returning the tokio I/O object.

This is equivalent to UnixListener::from_std(stream).
