# Socket::AncillaryData

`Socket::AncillaryData` represents the ancillary data (control information) used by sendmsg and recvmsg system call. It contains socket `family`, control message (cmsg) `level`, cmsg `type` and cmsg `data`.

### Public Class Methods

Socket::AncillaryData.int(family, cmsg_level, cmsg_type, integer) => ancillarydata click to toggle source

Creates a new `Socket::AncillaryData` object which contains a int as data.

The size and endian is dependent on the host.

    require 'socket'

    p Socket::AncillaryData.int(:UNIX, :SOCKET, :RIGHTS, STDERR.fileno)

ipv6_pktinfo_addr => addr click to toggle source

Extracts addr from IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data.

IPV6_PKTINFO is defined by RFC 3542.

timestamp => time click to toggle source

returns the timestamp as a time object.

ancillarydata should be one of following type:

- SOL_SOCKET/SCM_TIMESTAMP (microsecond) GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, MacOS X

- SOL_SOCKET/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS (nanosecond) GNU/Linux

- SOL_SOCKET/SCM_BINTIME (2**(-64) second) FreeBSD

type => integer click to toggle source

returns the cmsg type as an integer.

    p Socket::AncillaryData.new(:INET6, :IPV6, :PKTINFO, "").type
    #=> 2

unix_rights => array-of-IOs or nil click to toggle source

returns the array of IO objects for SCM_RIGHTS control message in UNIX domain socket.

The class of the IO objects in the array is IO or `Socket`.

The array is attached to ancillarydata when it is instantiated. For example, `BasicSocket#recvmsg` attach the array when receives a SCM_RIGHTS control message and :scm_rights=>true option is given.
