:c:type:`uv_pipe_t` --- Pipe handle
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Pipe handles provide an abstraction over streaming files on Unix (including
|
|
local domain sockets, pipes, and FIFOs) and named pipes on Windows.
|
|
|
|
:c:type:`uv_pipe_t` is a 'subclass' of :c:type:`uv_stream_t`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Data types
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. c:type:: uv_pipe_t
|
|
|
|
Pipe handle type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Public members
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. c:member:: int uv_pipe_t.ipc
|
|
|
|
Whether this pipe is suitable for handle passing between processes.
|
|
Only a connected pipe that will be passing the handles should have this flag
|
|
set, not the listening pipe that uv_accept is called on.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso:: The :c:type:`uv_stream_t` members also apply.
|
|

|
|
API
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_pipe_init(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_pipe_t* handle, int ipc)
|
|
|
|
Initialize a pipe handle. The `ipc` argument is a boolean to indicate if
|
|
this pipe will be used for handle passing between processes (which may
|
|
change the bytes on the wire). Only a connected pipe that will be
|
|
passing the handles should have this flag set, not the listening pipe
|
|
that uv_accept is called on.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_pipe_open(uv_pipe_t* handle, uv_file file)
|
|
|
|
Open an existing file descriptor or HANDLE as a pipe.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.2.1 the file descriptor is set to non-blocking mode.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The passed file descriptor or HANDLE is not checked for its type, but
|
|
it's required that it represents a valid pipe.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_pipe_bind(uv_pipe_t* handle, const char* name)
|
|
|
|
Bind the pipe to a file path (Unix) or a name (Windows).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Paths on Unix get truncated to ``sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path)`` bytes, typically between
|
|
92 and 108 bytes.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void uv_pipe_connect(uv_connect_t* req, uv_pipe_t* handle, const char* name, uv_connect_cb cb)
|
|
|
|
Connect to the Unix domain socket or the named pipe.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Paths on Unix get truncated to ``sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path)`` bytes, typically between
|
|
92 and 108 bytes.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_pipe_getsockname(const uv_pipe_t* handle, char* buffer, size_t* size)
|
|
|
|
Get the name of the Unix domain socket or the named pipe.
|
|
|
|
A preallocated buffer must be provided. The size parameter holds the length
|
|
of the buffer and it's set to the number of bytes written to the buffer on
|
|
output. If the buffer is not big enough ``UV_ENOBUFS`` will be returned and
|
|
len will contain the required size.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.3.0 the returned length no longer includes the terminating null byte,
|
|
and the buffer is not null terminated.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_pipe_getpeername(const uv_pipe_t* handle, char* buffer, size_t* size)
|
|
|
|
Get the name of the Unix domain socket or the named pipe to which the handle
|
|
is connected.
|
|
|
|
A preallocated buffer must be provided. The size parameter holds the length
|
|
of the buffer and it's set to the number of bytes written to the buffer on
|
|
output. If the buffer is not big enough ``UV_ENOBUFS`` will be returned and
|
|
len will contain the required size.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.3.0
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void uv_pipe_pending_instances(uv_pipe_t* handle, int count)
|
|
|
|
Set the number of pending pipe instance handles when the pipe server is
|
|
waiting for connections.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This setting applies to Windows only.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_pipe_pending_count(uv_pipe_t* handle)
|
|
.. c:function:: uv_handle_type uv_pipe_pending_type(uv_pipe_t* handle)
|
|
|
|
Used to receive handles over IPC pipes.
|
|
|
|
First - call :c:func:`uv_pipe_pending_count`, if it's > 0 then initialize
|
|
a handle of the given `type`, returned by :c:func:`uv_pipe_pending_type`
|
|
and call ``uv_accept(pipe, handle)``.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso:: The :c:type:`uv_stream_t` API functions also apply.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_pipe_chmod(uv_pipe_t* handle, int flags)
|
|
|
|
Alters pipe permissions, allowing it to be accessed from processes run by
|
|
different users. Makes the pipe writable or readable by all users. Mode can
|
|
be ``UV_WRITABLE``, ``UV_READABLE`` or ``UV_WRITABLE | UV_READABLE``. This
|
|
function is blocking.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.16.0
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_pipe(uv_file fds[2], int read_flags, int write_flags)
|
|
|
|
Create a pair of connected pipe handles.
|
|
Data may be written to `fds[1]` and read from `fds[0]`.
|
|
The resulting handles can be passed to `uv_pipe_open`, used with `uv_spawn`,
|
|
or for any other purpose.
|
|
|
|
Valid values for `flags` are:
|
|
|
|
- UV_NONBLOCK_PIPE: Opens the specified socket handle for `OVERLAPPED`
|
|
or `FIONBIO`/`O_NONBLOCK` I/O usage.
|
|
This is recommended for handles that will be used by libuv,
|
|
and not usually recommended otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Equivalent to :man:`pipe(2)` with the `O_CLOEXEC` flag set.
|

.. versionadded:: 1.41.0
