mio-uds-windows

A library for integrating Unix Domain Sockets with mio on Windows. Similar to the standard library's support for Unix sockets, except all of the abstractions and types are nonblocking to conform with the expectations of mio.

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
mio-uds-windows = "0.1.0"
mio = "0.6"

Structure

The two exported types at the top level, UnixStream and UnixListener, are Windows ports of their TCP counterparts in the mio library. They can be used in similar fashion to mio's TCP and UDP types in terms of registration and API.

Most of the exported types in mio_uds_windows::net are analagous to the Unix-specific types in std, but have been adapted for Windows.

Two "extension" traits, UnixListenerExt and UnixStreamExt, and their implementations, were adapted from their TCP counterparts in the miow library.

Windows support for Unix domain sockets

Support for Unix domain sockets was introduced in Windows 10 Insider Build 17063. It became generally available in version 1809 (aka the October 2018 Update), and in Windows Server 1809/2019.
