Top Forums Programming Get the file descriptor of a socket file. C vs Python. Post 302204440 by goon12 on Wednesday 11th of June 2008 03:38:38 PM

I seem to have found a working solution: lstat.
Code:
        if (lstat("/tmp/mapping-foo", &sbuf) <= -1) {
                perror("lstat()");
        }

I am still curious to know how to get the file descriptor of a socket file (/tmp/mapping-foo) though.

Thanks again,
Joe

socket-event(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   socket-event(8)

NAME
socket - event signalling that a socket connection has been made SYNOPSIS
socket PROTO=PROTO PORT=PORT ADDR=ADDR socket PROTO=PROTO PATH=PATH DESCRIPTION
The socket event is generated by the upstart-socket-bridge(8) daemon when a socket connection is made whose details match the socket event condition and environment specified in a jobs start on or stop on stanza. When an incoming connection is detected, the file descriptor representing the socket is passed to the job in question to allow it to accept(2) the connection. Additionally, the environment variable UPSTART_JOB will contain the name of the event ("socket") and the environ- ment variable UPSTART_FDS will contain the number of the file descriptor corresponding to the listening socket. EXAMPLES
Internet socket Start web server when first client connects from localhost: start on socket PROTO=inet PORT=80 ADDR=127.0.0.1 Local socket start on socket PROTO=unix PATH=/var/run/.s.pgsql.1234 Abstract socket start on socket PROTO=unix PATH=@/at/upstart/example AUTHOR
