class Gio.UnixCredentialsMessage(**kwargs)¶

Bases:	`Gio.SocketControlMessage`
Abstract:	No
Structure:	`Gio.UnixCredentialsMessageClass`

This Gio.SocketControlMessage contains a Gio.Credentials instance. It may be sent using Gio.Socket.send_message() and received using Gio.Socket.receive_message() over UNIX sockets (ie: sockets in the Gio.SocketFamily.UNIX family).

For an easier way to send and receive credentials over stream-oriented UNIX sockets, see Gio.UnixConnection.send_credentials() and Gio.UnixConnection.receive_credentials(). To receive credentials of a foreign process connected to a socket, use Gio.Socket.get_credentials().

New in version 2.26.
