The row 25 of ucred.rs: use libc::ucred; fails to compile.

I noticed that, contrary to my unsubstantiated expectations, thatUnixDatagram::{send, recv} return io::Result, instead of turningWouldBlock errors into futures::Async::NotReady.

It's not clear to me what result types are approriate for each layer -- I'd have assumed io::Result in mio, and public, but primitive methods (like send and recv) in tokio-based APIs would use some Async type variant.

I'm asking not due to API usability issues, but since I am trying using tokio-uds as a blueprint for zmq-tokio.

This is really one of the biggest hurdles for me: that there's no blueprint I'm totally confident in having the API types right, and no docs explaining how it should be done, and why.

If I reach sufficient understanding, I can maybe come up with a documentation patch for tokio-core that explains the design ideas behind that, but right now I'm at quite a loss.

How do I use pre-opened (for example by inetd) or received from another UNIX socket file descriptor in tokio-uds?

This is to track implementation status on Windows. This will become feasible.

It's currently impossible to use this crate with a raw fd, because all the functions that could make a UnixListener from a raw fd are private.

I'd be useful to have a method for getting peer credentials. I suggest get_peer_cred(&self) -> UCred.

I need this now, so I'll now impl it via extension trait (by getting RawFd) but I plan to submit a proper PR later.

"... for inclusion in Serde by you, ..."

To add a new TUN/TAP device, you have to open /dev/net/tun, configure it with ioctl then read/select it like a normal fd. Would it be appropriate for use with UnixDatagram? If so, did you consider adding impl FromRawFd for UnixDatagram?

The tokio documentation has a simple example of setting up a TCP service with tokio-proto: https://tokio.rs/docs/getting-started/simple-server/#configure-and-run

I'm trying to understand how to do something similar with unix sockets, but it's not clear to me how to connect my implementation of a Service with a UnixStream.

First, I am a Rust newbie...

I am trying to read data from a Unix socket, but I am failing:

extern crate futures;
extern crate tokio_core;
extern crate tokio_signal;
extern crate tokio_uds;

use std::io::Read;

use futures::{Future, Async, Poll};
use tokio_core::reactor::Core;
use tokio_uds::{UnixListener, UnixStream};

struct Echo {
    listener: UnixListener,
}

impl Future for Echo {
    type Item = ();
    type Error = ();

    fn poll(&mut self) -> Poll<(), ()> {
        loop {
            if let Async::Ready(()) = self.listener.poll_read() {
                println!("New Connection");

                let (mut stream, _) = self.listener.accept().unwrap();
                let mut buffer = Vec::new();
                stream.read_to_end(&mut buffer);
                println!("{:?}", buffer);
            }
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut core = Core::new().unwrap();
    let handle = core.handle();

    let listener = UnixListener::bind("/var/run/hello.sock", &handle).unwrap();

    core.run(Echo {listener: listener}).unwrap()
}

Can somebody provide an example of howto get this working, please? Thanks!

Hi! In trying to compile pijul for openbsd 6.3-current, rustc 1.25.0,, I get the following error:

Compiling tokio-uds v0.1.7

From the documentation:

The returned future will resolve once the stream is successfully connected.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but UnixStream::connect returns Result<UnixStream>, not a future.

A short example would be really helpful here.

This crate still requires handle for UnixStream, UnixStream and UnixDatagram constructors (connect, bind, pair...)

It should be changed to support tokio crate and the new style of writing Tokio-based services.

Hi, I would like to send/receive file descriptors (unix sockets). I searched the docs but did not find anything, is it possible to do that right now?

Hello, I need to use UnixListener::from_listener() method which is present in unreleased version of the library. Can you release 0.1.2 with that method included? If not, what is needed for release? Can I/do you need help with that?

I'm going to clone this repo for now but I'd like to use package from crates.io.

Thank you!
