Christian Heimes added the comment: Unfortunately it's not as easy as you may think. BSD sockets have no portable API to retrieve domain, type and protocol from a file descriptor. getsockopt() may be able to retrieve some or even all values but it's not portable. For example SO_DOMAIN and SO_PROTOCOL requires Linux 2.6.32 or newer. I'm not sure about BSD or Windows.
It's also not possible to verify the parameters until you actually do an operation like send(), recv() or accept() on a fd. Wrong parameters may not raise an error after all. For now I suggest that you pass all information to the other process, that is fd, domain, type, proto. They are just integers. ---------- nosy: +christian.heimes type: behavior -> enhancement versions: +Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18391> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
