StreamPeerUDS
=============

**Inherits:** :ref:`StreamPeerSocket<class_StreamPeerSocket>` **<** :ref:`StreamPeer<class_StreamPeer>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A stream peer that handles UNIX Domain Socket (UDS) connections.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

A stream peer that handles UNIX Domain Socket (UDS) connections. This object can be used to connect to UDS servers, or also is returned by a UDS server. Unix Domain Sockets provide inter-process communication on the same machine using the filesystem namespace.

\ **Note:** UNIX Domain Sockets are only available on UNIX-like systems (Linux, macOS, etc.) and are not supported on Windows.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_StreamPeerUDS_method_bind:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **bind**\ (\ path\: :ref:`String<class_String>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_StreamPeerUDS_method_bind>`

Opens the UDS socket, and binds it to the specified socket path.

This method is generally not needed, and only used to force the subsequent call to :ref:`connect_to_host()<class_StreamPeerUDS_method_connect_to_host>` to use the specified ``path`` as the source address.

.. _class_StreamPeerUDS_method_connect_to_host:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **connect_to_host**\ (\ path\: :ref:`String<class_String>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_StreamPeerUDS_method_connect_to_host>`

Connects to the specified UNIX Domain Socket path. Returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` on success.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_StreamPeerUDS_method_get_connected_path:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`String<class_String>` **get_connected_path**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_StreamPeerUDS_method_get_connected_path>`

Returns the socket path of this peer.
