15 \class QLocalSocket
16 \since 4.4
17 \inmodule QtNetwork
18
19 \brief The QLocalSocket class provides a local socket.
20
21 On Windows this is a named pipe and on Unix this is a local domain socket.
22
23 If an error occurs, error() returns the type of error, and
24 errorString() can be called to get a human readable description
25 of what happened.
26
27 Although QLocalSocket is designed for use with an event loop, it's possible
28 to use it without one. In that case, you must use waitForConnected(),
29 waitForReadyRead(), waitForBytesWritten(), and waitForDisconnected()
30 which blocks until the operation is complete or the timeout expires.

36 \enum QLocalSocket::SocketOption
37 \since 6.2
38 This enum describes the possible options that can be used to connect to
39 a server. Currently, on Linux and Android it is used for specifying
40 connection to a server listening to a socket bound to an abstract address.
41
42 \value NoOptions No options have been set.
43 \value AbstractNamespaceOption
44 The socket will try to connect to an abstract address. This flag is specific
45 to Linux and Android. On other platforms is ignored.

51 \fn void QLocalSocket::connectToServer(OpenMode openMode)
52 \since 5.1
53
54 Attempts to make a connection to serverName().
55 setServerName() must be called before you open the connection.
56 Alternatively you can use connectToServer(const QString &name, OpenMode openMode);
57
58 The socket is opened in the given \a openMode and first enters ConnectingState.
59 If a connection is established, QLocalSocket enters ConnectedState and emits connected().
60
61 After calling this function, the socket can emit errorOccurred() to signal that an error occurred.

69 Equivalent to connectToServer(OpenMode mode).
70 The socket is opened in the given \a openMode to the server defined by setServerName().
71
72 Note that unlike in most other QIODevice subclasses, open() may not open the device directly.
73 The function return false if the socket was already connected or if the server to connect
74 to was not defined and true in any other case. The connected() or errorOccurred() signals will be
75 emitted once the device is actually open (or the connection failed).
