# [−][src]Struct std::os::unix::net::SocketAncillary

    pub struct SocketAncillary<'a> { /* fields omitted */ }

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unix_socket_ancillary_data` #76915)
This is supported on Unix only.

A Unix socket Ancillary data struct.

# Example

    use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary, AncillaryData};
    use std::io::IoSliceMut;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {

        let mut buf = [1; 8];
        let mut bufs = &mut [IoSliceMut::new(&mut buf[..])][..];

## Implementations

### `impl<'a> SocketAncillary<'a>`[src]

#### `pub fn new(buffer: &'a mut [u8]) -> Self`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unix_socket_ancillary_data` #76915)
This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Create an ancillary data with the given buffer.

# Example

    #![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
    use std::os::unix::net::SocketAncillary;
    let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
    let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);

#### `pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unix_socket_ancillary_data` #76915)
This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Returns the capacity of the buffer.

#### `pub fn len(&self) -> usize`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unix_socket_ancillary_data` #76915)
This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Returns the number of used bytes.

#### `pub fn messages(&self) -> Messages<'_>ⓘ

### Notable traits for Messages<'a>

`impl<'a> Iterator for Messages<'a> type Item = Result<AncillaryData<'a>, AncillaryError>;`
`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unix_socket_ancillary_data` #76915)
This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Returns the iterator of the control messages.

#### `pub fn truncated(&self) -> bool`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unix_socket_ancillary_data` #76915)
This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Is `true` if during a recv operation the ancillary was truncated.

# Example

    #![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
    use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary};
    use std::io::IoSliceMut;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

        let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
        let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);

        let mut buf = [1; 8];
        let mut bufs = &mut [IoSliceMut::new(&mut buf[..])][..];
        sock.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;

#### `pub fn add_fds(&mut self, fds: &[RawFd]) -> bool`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unix_socket_ancillary_data` #76915)
This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Add file descriptors to the ancillary data.

The function returns `true` if there was enough space in the buffer. If there was not enough space then no file descriptors was appended. Technically, that means this operation adds a control message with the level `SOL_SOCKET` and type `SCM_RIGHTS`.

# Example

    #![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
    use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary};
    use std::os::unix::io::AsRawFd;
    use std::io::IoSliceMut;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

        let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
        let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);
        ancillary.add_fds(&[sock.as_raw_fd()][..]);

        let mut buf = [1; 8];
        let mut bufs = &mut [IoSliceMut::new(&mut buf[..])][..];
        sock.send_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;
        Ok(())

#### `pub fn add_creds(&mut self, creds: &[SocketCred]) -> bool`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unix_socket_ancillary_data` #76915)
This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Add credentials to the ancillary data.

The function returns `true` if there was enough space in the buffer. If there was not enough space then no credentials was appended. Technically, that means this operation adds a control message with the level `SOL_SOCKET` and type `SCM_CREDENTIALS` or `SCM_CREDS`.

#### `pub fn clear(&mut self)`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unix_socket_ancillary_data` #76915)
This is supported on Android or DragonFly BSD or Emscripten or FreeBSD or Linux or NetBSD or OpenBSD only.

Clears the ancillary data, removing all values.

# Example

    #![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
    use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary, AncillaryData};
    use std::io::IoSliceMut;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
