UnixSocket

public UnixSocket(java.lang.String path)
           throws java.io.IOException

Creates a new UnixSocket connected to a path.

Parameters:

path - The path name of the socket to connect to

UnixSocket

protected UnixSocket(UnixSocketImpl impl)
              throws java.io.IOException

Creates a new UnixSocket from a UnixSocketImpl.

Method Detail

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Closes this socket

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem closing the socket

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Returns an input stream for this socket. Multiple calls to this method on a socket will return the same stream.

Returns:

an input stream for reading bytes from this socket.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs when creating the input stream.

getOutputStream

public java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                     throws java.io.IOException

Returns an output stream for this socket. Multiple calls to this method on a socket will return the same stream.

Returns:

an output stream for writing bytes to this socket.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs when creating the output stream.

shutdownInput

public void shutdownInput()
                   throws java.io.IOException

Disables the input stream for this socket.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.

shutdownOutput

public void shutdownOutput()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Disables the output stream for this socket.
