17 \class QLocalServer
18 \since 4.4
19 \inmodule QtNetwork
20
21 \brief The QLocalServer class provides a local socket based server.
22
23 This class makes it possible to accept incoming local socket
24 connections.
25
26 Call listen() to have the server start listening
27 for incoming connections on a specified key. The
28 newConnection() signal is then emitted each time a client
29 connects to the server.
30
31 Call nextPendingConnection() to accept the pending connection
32 as a connected QLocalSocket. The function returns a pointer to a
33 QLocalSocket that can be used for communicating with the client.
34
35 If an error occurs, serverError() returns the type of error, and
36 errorString() can be called to get a human readable description
37 of what happened.
38
39 When listening for connections, the name which the server is
40 listening on is available through serverName().
41
42 Calling close() makes QLocalServer stop listening for incoming connections.
43
44 Although QLocalServer is designed for use with an event loop, it's possible
45 to use it without one. In that case, you must use waitForNewConnection(),
46 which blocks until either a connection is available or a timeout expires.

52 \enum QLocalServer::SocketOption
53 \since 5.0
54
55 This enum describes the possible options that can be used to create the
56 socket. This changes the access permissions on platforms (Linux, Windows)
57 that support access permissions on the socket. Both GroupAccess and OtherAccess
58 may vary slightly in meanings depending on the platform.
59 On Linux and Android it is possible to use sockets with abstract addresses;
60 socket permissions have no meaning for such sockets.
61
62 \value NoOptions No access restrictions have been set.
63 \value UserAccessOption
64 Access is restricted to the same user as the process that created the socket.
65 \value GroupAccessOption
66 Access is restricted to the same group but not the user that created the socket on Linux.
67 Access is restricted to the primary group of the process on Windows
68 \value OtherAccessOption
69 Access is available to everyone but the user and group that created the socket on Linux.
70 Access is available to everyone on Windows.
71 \value WorldAccessOption
72 No access restrictions.
73 \value AbstractNamespaceOption
74 The listening socket will be created in the abstract namespace. This flag is specific to Linux.
75 In case of other platforms, for the sake of code portability, this flag is equivalent
76 to WorldAccessOption.

109/*!
110 \property QLocalServer::socketOptions
111 \since 5.0
112
113 \brief the socket options that control how the socket operates.
114
115 For example, the socket may restrict access to what user ids can
116 connect to the socket.
117
118 These options must be set before listen() is called.
119
120 In some cases, such as with Unix domain sockets on Linux, the
121 access to the socket will be determined by file system permissions,
122 and are created based on the umask. Setting the access flags will
123 override this and will restrict or permit access as specified.
124
125 Other Unix-based operating systems, such as \macos, do not
126 honor file permissions for Unix domain sockets and by default
127 have WorldAccess and these permission flags will have no effect.
128
129 On Windows, UserAccessOption is sufficient to allow a non
130 elevated process to connect to a local server created by an
131 elevated process run by the same user. GroupAccessOption
132 refers to the primary group of the process (see TokenPrimaryGroup
133 in the Windows documentation). OtherAccessOption refers to
134 the well known "Everyone" group.
135
136 On Linux platforms it is possible to create a socket in the abstract
137 namespace, which is independent of the filesystem. Using this kind
138 of socket implies ignoring permission options. On other platforms
139 AbstractNamespaceOption is equivalent to WorldAccessOption.
140
141 By default none of the flags are set, access permissions
142 are the platform default.
