UnixFDList

Object Hierarchy:

Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "g_unix_fd_list_get_type ()" ) ]
public class UnixFDList : Object

A `GUnixFDList` contains a list of file descriptors.

It owns the file descriptors that it contains, closing them when finalized.

It may be wrapped in a [`GUnixFDMessage`](../gio-unix/class.UnixFDMessage.html) and sent over a [class@Gio.Socket] in the `G_SOCKET_FAMILY_UNIX` family by using [method@Gio.Socket.send_message] and received using [method@Gio.Socket.receive_message].

Before 2.74, `<gio/gunixfdlist.h>` belonged to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you had to use the `gio-unix-2.0.pc` pkg-config file when using it.

Since 2.74, the API is available for Windows.
