Python sockets and recvmsg

H

Heiko Wundram

Hi all!

I've read up on unix domain sockets, and I've seen that you can send out of
bound messages such as sending the processes credentials over the socket.
Receiving this requires to call recvmsg, which seems to be unavailable on the
standard Python socket type.

How would you go about implementing this functionality? I don't think that a
standard recv() does what I want...
