C++ Qt write to unix socket

I have a unix socket in /tmp/my_s开发者_开发知识库ock

How can I connect to it and write data? Is there a Qt way to do it?

Qt supports unix domain sockets natively through QLocalSocket and QLocalServer.

The name you have to pass as first parameter to QLocalSocket::connectToServer is the socket path: "/tmp/my_sock".

As of 2011, Qt doesn't have any support for sockets at all, since Qt's moto is cross-platforming.

If you want to use sockets in your Qt program, you should implement socket communication via standard Linux functions, socket(), connect(), etc, or implement your own class based on QAbstractSocket.
