GLibUnix – 2.0

A Unix pipe. The advantage of this type over int[2] is that it can be closed automatically when it goes out of scope, using g_auto(GUnixPipe), on compilers that support that feature.

since: 2.80

Mnemonic constants for the ends of a Unix pipe.

since: 2.80

The type of functions to be called when a UNIX fd watch source triggers.

Close every file descriptor equal to or greater than lowfd.

since: 2.80

Sets a function to be called when the IO condition, as specified by condition becomes true for fd.

since: 2.36

Sets a function to be called when the IO condition, as specified by condition becomes true for fd.

since: 2.36

Queries the file path for the given FD opened by the current process.

unstable since: 2.88

Creates a GSource to watch for a particular I/O condition on a file descriptor.

since: 2.36

Mark every file descriptor equal to or greater than lowfd to be closed at the next execve() or similar, as if via the FD_CLOEXEC flag.

since: 2.80

Get the passwd file entry for the given user_name using getpwnam_r(). This can fail if the given user_name doesn’t exist.

since: 2.64

Similar to the UNIX pipe() call, but on modern systems like Linux uses the pipe2() system call, which atomically creates a pipe with the configured flags.

since: 2.30

Control the non-blocking state of the given file descriptor, according to nonblock. On most systems this uses O_NONBLOCK, but on some older ones may use O_NDELAY.

since: 2.30

A convenience function for g_unix_signal_source_new(), which attaches to the default GMainContext. You can remove the watch using g_source_remove().

since: 2.30

A convenience function for g_unix_signal_source_new(), which attaches to the default GMainContext. You can remove the watch using g_source_remove().

since: 2.30

Create a GSource that will be dispatched upon delivery of the UNIX signal signum. In GLib versions before 2.36, only SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGTERM can be monitored. In GLib 2.36, SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 were added. In GLib 2.54, SIGWINCH was added.
