socketpair − create a pair of connected sockets
#include <sys/socket.h>
int
socketpair(int domain, int type,
int protocol,
int socket_vector[2]);
The socketpair() function shall create an unbound pair of connected sockets in a specified domain, of a specified type, under the protocol optionally specified by the protocol argument. The two sockets shall be identical. The file descriptors used in referencing the created sockets shall be returned in socket_vector[0] and socket_vector[1].
The socketpair() function takes the following arguments:
|
domain |
Specifies the communications domain in which the sockets are to be created. | ||
|
type |
Specifies the type of sockets to be created. |
protocol
Specifies a particular protocol to be used with the sockets. Specifying a protocol of 0 causes socketpair() to use an unspecified default protocol appropriate for the requested socket type.
socket_vector
Specifies a 2-integer array to hold the file descriptors of the created socket pair.
The type
argument specifies the socket type, which determines the
semantics of communications over the socket. The following
socket types are defined; implementations may specify
additional socket types:
SOCK_STREAM
Provides sequenced, reliable, bidirectional, connection-mode byte streams, and may provide a transmission mechanism for out-of-band data.
SOCK_DGRAM
Provides datagrams, which are connectionless-mode, unreliable messages of fixed maximum length.
SOCK_SEQPACKET
Provides sequenced, reliable, bidirectional, connection-mode transmission paths for records. A record can be sent using one or more output operations and received using one or more input operations, but a single operation never transfers part of more than one record. Record boundaries are visible to the receiver via the MSG_EOR flag.
If the protocol argument is non-zero, it shall specify a protocol that is supported by the address family. If the protocol argument is zero, the default protocol for this address family and type shall be used. The protocols supported by the system are implementation-defined.
The process may need to have appropriate privileges to use the socketpair() function or to create some sockets.
Upon successful completion, this function shall return 0; otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.
The
socketpair() function shall fail if:
EAFNOSUPPORT
The implementation does not support the specified address family.
|
EMFILE |
No more file descriptors are available for this process. | ||
|
ENFILE |
No more file descriptors are available for the system. |
EOPNOTSUPP
The specified protocol does not permit creation of socket pairs.
EPROTONOSUPPORT
The protocol is not supported by the address family, or the protocol is not supported by the implementation.
EPROTOTYPE
The socket type is not supported by the protocol.
The socketpair() function may fail if:
|
EACCES |
The process does not have appropriate privileges. |
ENOBUFS
Insufficient resources were available in the system to perform the operation.
|
ENOMEM |
Insufficient memory was available to fulfill the request. |
The following sections are informative.
None.
The documentation for specific address families specifies which protocols each address family supports. The documentation for specific protocols specifies which socket types each protocol supports.
The socketpair() function is used primarily with UNIX domain sockets and need not be supported for other domains.
None.
None.
