let sock = match UnixDatagram::unbound() {
    Ok(sock) => sock,

        println!("Couldn't unbound: {e:?}");
        return
    }
};
Run
source

pub fn pair() -> Result<(UnixDatagram, UnixDatagram)>

Creates an unnamed pair of connected sockets.

Returns two UnixDatagramss which are connected to each other.

Examples
use std::os::unix::net::UnixDatagram;

let (sock1, sock2) = match UnixDatagram::pair() {

pub fn peek(&self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_peek #76923)

Receives data on the socket from the remote address to which it is connected, without removing that data from the queue. On success, returns the number of bytes peeked.

Successive calls return the same data. This is accomplished by passing MSG_PEEK as a flag to the underlying recv system call.

Examples
#![feature(unix_socket_peek)]

use std::os::unix::net::UnixDatagram;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixDatagram::bind("/tmp/sock")?;
    let mut buf = [0; 10];
    let len = socket.peek(&mut buf).expect("peek failed");
    Ok(())
}
Run
source

pub fn peek_from(&self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(usize, SocketAddr)>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_peek #76923)

Receives a single datagram message on the socket, without removing it from the queue. On success, returns the number of bytes read and the origin.

The function must be called with valid byte array buf of sufficient size to hold the message bytes. If a message is too long to fit in the supplied buffer, excess bytes may be discarded.

Successive calls return the same data. This is accomplished by passing MSG_PEEK as a flag to the underlying recvfrom system call.

Do not use this function to implement busy waiting, instead use libc::poll to synchronize IO events on one or more sockets.

Examples
#![feature(unix_socket_peek)]

use std::os::unix::net::UnixDatagram;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let socket = UnixDatagram::bind("/tmp/sock")?;
    let mut buf = [0; 10];
    let (len, addr) = socket.peek_from(&mut buf).expect("peek failed");
    Ok(())
