Method: UNIXSocket#send_io

Defined in:
unixsocket.c

#send_io(io) ⇒ nil

Sends io as file descriptor passing.

s1, s2 = UNIXSocket.pair

s1.send_io STDOUT
stdout = s2.recv_io

p STDOUT.fileno #=> 1
p stdout.fileno #=> 6

stdout.puts "hello" # outputs "hello\n" to standard output.

io may be any kind of IO object or integer file descriptor.

Returns:

  • (nil)
