open_fd


Description:

public bool open_fd (int fd)

Open the session using the provided fd socket file descriptor.

This is useful if you create the fd yourself, for example to setup a SSH tunnel.

Note however that additional sockets will be needed by all the channels created for this so users of this API should hook into SpiceChannel:SpiceSession:open-fd signal for each channel they are interested in, and create and pass a new socket to the channel using open_fd, in the signal callback.

If fd is -1, a valid fd will be requested later via the SpiceChannel:SpiceSession:open-fd signal. Typically, you would want to just pass -1 as fd this call since you will have to hook to SpiceChannel:SpiceSession:open-fd signal anyway.

Parameters:

this

a Session

fd

a file descriptor (socket) or -1

Returns:

true on success.
