DESCRIPTION         top

       sd_is_fifo() may be called to check whether the specified file
       descriptor refers to a FIFO or pipe. If the path parameter is not
       NULL, it is checked whether the FIFO is bound to the specified
       file system path.

       sd_is_socket() may be called to check whether the specified file
       descriptor refers to a socket. If the family parameter is not
       AF_UNSPEC, it is checked whether the socket is of the specified
       family (AF_UNIX, AF_INET, ...). If the type parameter is not 0,
       it is checked whether the socket is of the specified type
       (SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_DGRAM, ...). If the listening parameter is
       positive, it is checked whether the socket is in accepting mode,
       i.e.  listen() has been called for it. If listening is 0, it is
       checked whether the socket is not in this mode. If the parameter
       is negative, no such check is made. The listening parameter
       should only be used for stream sockets and should be set to a
       negative value otherwise.

       sd_is_socket_inet() is similar to sd_is_socket(), but optionally
       checks the IPv4 or IPv6 port number the socket is bound to,
       unless port is zero. For this call family must be passed as
       either AF_UNSPEC, AF_INET, or AF_INET6.

       sd_is_socket_sockaddr() is similar to sd_is_socket_inet(), but
       checks if the socket is bound to the address specified by addr.
       The family specified by addr must be either AF_INET or AF_INET6
       and addr_len must be large enough for that family. If addr
       specifies a non-zero port, it is also checked if the socket is
       bound to this port. In addition, for IPv6, if addr specifies
       non-zero sin6_flowinfo or sin6_scope_id, it is checked if the
       socket has the same values.

       sd_is_socket_unix() is similar to sd_is_socket() but optionally
       checks the AF_UNIX path the socket is bound to, unless the path
       parameter is NULL. For normal file system AF_UNIX sockets, set
       the length parameter to 0. For Linux abstract namespace sockets,
       set the length to the size of the address, including the initial
       0 byte, and set the path to the initial 0 byte of the socket
       address.

       sd_is_mq() may be called to check whether the specified file
       descriptor refers to a POSIX message queue. If the path parameter
       is not NULL, it is checked whether the message queue is bound to
       the specified name.

       sd_is_special() may be called to check whether the specified file
       descriptor refers to a special file. If the path parameter is not
       NULL, it is checked whether the file descriptor is bound to the
       specified filename. Special files in this context are character
       device nodes and files in /proc/ or /sys/.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code.
       If the file descriptor is of the specified type and bound to the
       specified address, a positive return value is returned, otherwise
       zero.

NOTES         top

       Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
       can be compiled against and linked to with the
       libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.

       Internally, these functions use a combination of fstat(2) and
       getsockname(2) to check the file descriptor type and where it is
       bound to.

HISTORY         top

       sd_is_special() was added in version 209.

       sd_is_socket_sockaddr() was added in version 233.
