Unix-specific Utilities

Most of GLib is intended to be portable; in contrast, this set of functions is designed for programs which explicitly target Unix, or are using it to build higher level abstractions which would be conditionally compiled if the platform matches G_OS_UNIX.

To use these functions, you must explicitly include the glib-unix.h header.

File Descriptors

  • [func@GLib.unix_open_pipe]
  • [func@GLib.unix_set_fd_nonblocking]

Pipes

The [struct@GLib.UnixPipe] structure can be used to conveniently open and manipulate a Unix pipe.

The methods for it are all static inline for efficiency. They are:

  • g_unix_pipe_open()
  • g_unix_pipe_get()
  • g_unix_pipe_steal()
  • g_unix_pipe_close()
  • g_unix_pipe_clear()

Signals

  • [func@GLib.unix_signal_add]
  • [func@GLib.unix_signal_add_full]
  • [func@GLib.unix_signal_source_new]

Polling

  • [func@GLib.unix_fd_add]
  • [func@GLib.unix_fd_add_full]
  • [func@GLib.unix_fd_source_new]

User Database

  • [func@GLib.unix_get_passwd_entry]
