FD Queue is a Rust abstraction for passing file descriptors between processes.
fd-queue provides traits for enqueuing and dequeuing file descriptors and implementations of those traits for different types of Unix sockets. Specifically fd-queue provides a blocking implementation, a non-blocking implementation base on [mio], and a non-blocking implementation based on [tokio].
Add this to your Cargo.toml
toml
[dependencies]
fd-queue = {version = "1.0.0-alpha.1", features = ["net-fd"]}
This enables the blocking implementation of the traits for enqueuing and dequeuing file descriptors. See below for the other features. You can then use the library as follows:
```rust use std::{ fs::File, io::prelude::*, os::unix::io::FromRawFd, }; use fd_queue::{EnqueueFd, DequeueFd, UnixStream};
let (mut sock1, mut sock2) = UnixStream::pair()?;
// sender side let file: File = ... sock1.enqueue(&file).expect("Can't enquque the file descriptor."); sock1.write(b"a")?; sock1.flush()?;
//receiver side let mut buf = [0u8; 1]; sock2.read(&mut buf)?; let fd = sock2.dequeue().expect("Can't dequeue the file descriptor."); let file2 = unsafe { File::fromrawfd(fd) }; ```
Usage of the library with the default features will include only the basic
trait definitions DequeueFd and EnqueueFd together with their supporting
types. With the default features there will be no implementations of the basic
traits. To include implementations of the traits enable the following features:
| Feature | Implementation | Additional Traits |
|----------|----------------|----------------------------|
| net-fd | blocking | Read, Write |
| mio-fd | non-blocking | Read, Write, Evented |
| tokio-fd | non-blocking | AsyncRead, AsyncWrite |
The library will always support the Rust version that is two earlier than the current stable version. The current Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is 1.39.0. Any change to the MSRV will be treated as a breaking change for Semantic Version purposes.
This library follows semantic versioning, but without Rust's modification to pre-1.0.0 minor version numbers. All breaking changes will result in increasing the major version number.
This library also uses Semantic Release for its release process which means that it will not have any pre-1.0.0 releases (for the reasons described here).
The first non-pre-release version of the library will be version 1.0.0. This does not signal that the library is production ready or that we will attempt to avoid breaking changes. It rather signals exactly what the Semantic Versioning Specification says it does: there won't be any backward incompatible changes until version 2.0.0 (see here).
For a signal of the maturity of the library see the next heading which will be updated as the library matures.
This library is an initial, experimental implementation that has not had any use in production. You should expect breaking changes (with an appropriate change in semantic version) as the library matures.
