API
---
.. c:function:: uv_handle_type uv_guess_handle(uv_file file)
Used to detect what type of stream should be used with a given file
descriptor. Usually this will be used during initialization to guess the
type of the stdio streams.
For :man:`isatty(3)` equivalent functionality use this function and test
for ``UV_TTY``.
.. c:function:: int uv_replace_allocator(uv_malloc_func malloc_func, uv_realloc_func realloc_func, uv_calloc_func calloc_func, uv_free_func free_func)
.. versionadded:: 1.6.0
Override the use of the standard library's :man:`malloc(3)`,
:man:`calloc(3)`, :man:`realloc(3)`, :man:`free(3)`, memory allocation
functions.
This function must be called before any other libuv function is called or
after all resources have been freed and thus libuv doesn't reference
any allocated memory chunk.
On success, it returns 0, if any of the function pointers is NULL it
returns UV_EINVAL.
.. warning:: There is no protection against changing the allocator multiple
times. If the user changes it they are responsible for making
sure the allocator is changed while no memory was allocated with
the previous allocator, or that they are compatible.
.. c:function:: uv_buf_t uv_buf_init(char* base, unsigned int len)
Constructor for :c:type:`uv_buf_t`.
Due to platform differences the user cannot rely on the ordering of the
`base` and `len` members of the uv_buf_t struct. The user is responsible for
freeing `base` after the uv_buf_t is done. Return struct passed by value.
.. c:function:: char** uv_setup_args(int argc, char** argv)
Store the program arguments. Required for getting / setting the process title.
.. c:function:: int uv_get_process_title(char* buffer, size_t size)
Gets the title of the current process. You *must* call `uv_setup_args`
before calling this function. If `buffer` is `NULL` or `size` is zero,
`UV_EINVAL` is returned. If `size` cannot accommodate the process title and
terminating `NULL` character, the function returns `UV_ENOBUFS`.
.. versionchanged:: 1.18.1 now thread-safe on all supported platforms.
.. c:function:: int uv_set_process_title(const char* title)
Sets the current process title. You *must* call `uv_setup_args` before
calling this function. On platforms with a fixed size buffer for the process
title the contents of `title` will be copied to the buffer and truncated if
larger than the available space. Other platforms will return `UV_ENOMEM` if
they cannot allocate enough space to duplicate the contents of `title`.
.. versionchanged:: 1.18.1 now thread-safe on all supported platforms.
.. c:function:: int uv_resident_set_memory(size_t* rss)
Gets the resident set size (RSS) for the current process.
.. c:function:: int uv_uptime(double* uptime)
Gets the current system uptime.
.. c:function:: int uv_getrusage(uv_rusage_t* rusage)
Gets the resource usage measures for the current process.
.. note::
On Windows not all fields are set, the unsupported fields are filled with zeroes.
See :c:type:`uv_rusage_t` for more details.
.. c:function:: uv_pid_t uv_os_getpid(void)
Returns the current process ID.
.. versionadded:: 1.18.0
.. c:function:: uv_pid_t uv_os_getppid(void)
Returns the parent process ID.
.. versionadded:: 1.16.0
.. c:function:: int uv_cpu_info(uv_cpu_info_t** cpu_infos, int* count)
Gets information about the CPUs on the system. The `cpu_infos` array will
have `count` elements and needs to be freed with :c:func:`uv_free_cpu_info`.
.. c:function:: void uv_free_cpu_info(uv_cpu_info_t* cpu_infos, int count)
Frees the `cpu_infos` array previously allocated with :c:func:`uv_cpu_info`.
.. c:function:: int uv_interface_addresses(uv_interface_address_t** addresses, int* count)
Gets address information about the network interfaces on the system. An
array of `count` elements is allocated and returned in `addresses`. It must
be freed by the user, calling :c:func:`uv_free_interface_addresses`.
.. c:function:: void uv_free_interface_addresses(uv_interface_address_t* addresses, int count)
Free an array of :c:type:`uv_interface_address_t` which was returned by
:c:func:`uv_interface_addresses`.
.. c:function:: void uv_loadavg(double avg[3])
Gets the load average. See: `<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)>`_
.. note::
Returns [0,0,0] on Windows (i.e., it's not implemented).
.. c:function:: int uv_ip4_addr(const char* ip, int port, struct sockaddr_in* addr)
Convert a string containing an IPv4 addresses to a binary structure.
.. c:function:: int uv_ip6_addr(const char* ip, int port, struct sockaddr_in6* addr)
Convert a string containing an IPv6 addresses to a binary structure.
.. c:function:: int uv_ip4_name(const struct sockaddr_in* src, char* dst, size_t size)
Convert a binary structure containing an IPv4 address to a string.
.. c:function:: int uv_ip6_name(const struct sockaddr_in6* src, char* dst, size_t size)
Convert a binary structure containing an IPv6 address to a string.
.. c:function:: int uv_inet_ntop(int af, const void* src, char* dst, size_t size)
.. c:function:: int uv_inet_pton(int af, const char* src, void* dst)
Cross-platform IPv6-capable implementation of :man:`inet_ntop(3)`
and :man:`inet_pton(3)`. On success they return 0. In case of error
the target `dst` pointer is unmodified.
.. c:macro:: UV_IF_NAMESIZE
Maximum IPv6 interface identifier name length. Defined as
`IFNAMSIZ` on Unix and `IF_NAMESIZE` on Linux and Windows.
.. versionadded:: 1.16.0
.. c:function:: int uv_if_indextoname(unsigned int ifindex, char* buffer, size_t* size)
IPv6-capable implementation of :man:`if_indextoname(3)`. When called,
`*size` indicates the length of the `buffer`, which is used to store the
result.
On success, zero is returned, `buffer` contains the interface name, and
`*size` represents the string length of the `buffer`, excluding the NUL
terminator byte from `*size`. On error, a negative result is
returned. If `buffer` is not large enough to hold the result,
`UV_ENOBUFS` is returned, and `*size` represents the necessary size in
bytes, including the NUL terminator byte into the `*size`.
On Unix, the returned interface name can be used directly as an
interface identifier in scoped IPv6 addresses, e.g.
`fe80::abc:def1:2345%en0`.
On Windows, the returned interface cannot be used as an interface
identifier, as Windows uses numerical interface identifiers, e.g.
`fe80::abc:def1:2345%5`.
To get an interface identifier in a cross-platform compatible way,
use `uv_if_indextoiid()`.
Example:
::
char ifname[UV_IF_NAMESIZE];
size_t size = sizeof(ifname);
uv_if_indextoname(sin6->sin6_scope_id, ifname, &size);
.. versionadded:: 1.16.0
.. c:function:: int uv_if_indextoiid(unsigned int ifindex, char* buffer, size_t* size)
Retrieves a network interface identifier suitable for use in an IPv6 scoped
address. On Windows, returns the numeric `ifindex` as a string. On all other
platforms, `uv_if_indextoname()` is called. The result is written to
`buffer`, with `*size` indicating the length of `buffer`. If `buffer` is not
large enough to hold the result, then `UV_ENOBUFS` is returned, and `*size`
represents the size, including the NUL byte, required to hold the
result.
See `uv_if_indextoname` for further details.
.. versionadded:: 1.16.0
.. c:function:: int uv_exepath(char* buffer, size_t* size)
Gets the executable path.
.. c:function:: int uv_cwd(char* buffer, size_t* size)
Gets the current working directory, and stores it in `buffer`. If the
current working directory is too large to fit in `buffer`, this function
returns `UV_ENOBUFS`, and sets `size` to the required length, including the
null terminator.
.. versionchanged:: 1.1.0
On Unix the path no longer ends in a slash.
.. versionchanged:: 1.9.0 the returned length includes the terminating null
byte on `UV_ENOBUFS`, and the buffer is null terminated
on success.
.. c:function:: int uv_chdir(const char* dir)
Changes the current working directory.
.. c:function:: int uv_os_homedir(char* buffer, size_t* size)
Gets the current user's home directory. On Windows, `uv_os_homedir()` first
checks the `USERPROFILE` environment variable using
`GetEnvironmentVariableW()`. If `USERPROFILE` is not set,
`GetUserProfileDirectoryW()` is called. On all other operating systems,
`uv_os_homedir()` first checks the `HOME` environment variable using
:man:`getenv(3)`. If `HOME` is not set, :man:`getpwuid_r(3)` is called. The
user's home directory is stored in `buffer`. When `uv_os_homedir()` is
called, `size` indicates the maximum size of `buffer`. On success `size` is set
to the string length of `buffer`. On `UV_ENOBUFS` failure `size` is set to the
required length for `buffer`, including the null byte.
.. warning::
`uv_os_homedir()` is not thread safe.
.. versionadded:: 1.6.0
.. c:function:: int uv_os_tmpdir(char* buffer, size_t* size)
Gets the temp directory. On Windows, `uv_os_tmpdir()` uses `GetTempPathW()`.
On all other operating systems, `uv_os_tmpdir()` uses the first environment
variable found in the ordered list `TMPDIR`, `TMP`, `TEMP`, and `TEMPDIR`.
If none of these are found, the path `"/tmp"` is used, or, on Android,
`"/data/local/tmp"` is used. The temp directory is stored in `buffer`. When
`uv_os_tmpdir()` is called, `size` indicates the maximum size of `buffer`.
On success `size` is set to the string length of `buffer` (which does not
include the terminating null). On `UV_ENOBUFS` failure `size` is set to the
required length for `buffer`, including the null byte.
.. warning::
`uv_os_tmpdir()` is not thread safe.
.. versionadded:: 1.9.0
.. c:function:: int uv_os_get_passwd(uv_passwd_t* pwd)
Gets a subset of the password file entry for the current effective uid (not
the real uid). The populated data includes the username, euid, gid, shell,
and home directory. On non-Windows systems, all data comes from
:man:`getpwuid_r(3)`. On Windows, uid and gid are set to -1 and have no
meaning, and shell is `NULL`. After successfully calling this function, the
memory allocated to `pwd` needs to be freed with
:c:func:`uv_os_free_passwd`.
.. versionadded:: 1.9.0
.. c:function:: void uv_os_free_passwd(uv_passwd_t* pwd)
Frees the `pwd` memory previously allocated with :c:func:`uv_os_get_passwd`.
.. versionadded:: 1.9.0
.. uint64_t uv_get_free_memory(void)
.. c:function:: uint64_t uv_get_total_memory(void)
Gets memory information (in bytes).
.. c:function:: uint64_t uv_hrtime(void)
Returns the current high-resolution real time. This is expressed in
nanoseconds. It is relative to an arbitrary time in the past. It is not
related to the time of day and therefore not subject to clock drift. The
primary use is for measuring performance between intervals.
.. note::
Not every platform can support nanosecond resolution; however, this value will always
be in nanoseconds.
.. c:function:: void uv_print_all_handles(uv_loop_t* loop, FILE* stream)
Prints all handles associated with the given `loop` to the given `stream`.
Example:
::
uv_print_all_handles(uv_default_loop(), stderr);
/*
[--I] signal 0x1a25ea8
[-AI] async 0x1a25cf0
[R--] idle 0x1a7a8c8
*/
The format is `[flags] handle-type handle-address`. For `flags`:
- `R` is printed for a handle that is referenced
- `A` is printed for a handle that is active
- `I` is printed for a handle that is internal
.. warning::
This function is meant for ad hoc debugging, there is no API/ABI
stability guarantees.
.. versionadded:: 1.8.0
.. c:function:: void uv_print_active_handles(uv_loop_t* loop, FILE* stream)
This is the same as :c:func:`uv_print_all_handles` except only active handles
are printed.
.. warning::
This function is meant for ad hoc debugging, there is no API/ABI
stability guarantees.
.. versionadded:: 1.8.0
.. c:function:: int uv_os_getenv(const char* name, char* buffer, size_t* size)
Retrieves the environment variable specified by `name`, copies its value
into `buffer`, and sets `size` to the string length of the value. When
calling this function, `size` must be set to the amount of storage available
in `buffer`, including the null terminator. If the environment variable
exceeds the storage available in `buffer`, `UV_ENOBUFS` is returned, and
`size` is set to the amount of storage required to hold the value. If no
matching environment variable exists, `UV_ENOENT` is returned.
.. warning::

.. versionadded:: 1.12.0
.. c:function:: int uv_os_setenv(const char* name, const char* value)
Creates or updates the environment variable specified by `name` with
`value`.
.. warning::
This function is not thread safe.
.. versionadded:: 1.12.0
.. c:function:: int uv_os_unsetenv(const char* name)
Deletes the environment variable specified by `name`. If no such environment
variable exists, this function returns successfully.
.. warning::
This function is not thread safe.
.. versionadded:: 1.12.0
.. c:function:: int uv_os_gethostname(char* buffer, size_t* size)
Returns the hostname as a null-terminated string in `buffer`, and sets
`size` to the string length of the hostname. When calling this function,
`size` must be set to the amount of storage available in `buffer`, including
the null terminator. If the hostname exceeds the storage available in
`buffer`, `UV_ENOBUFS` is returned, and `size` is set to the amount of
storage required to hold the value.
.. versionadded:: 1.12.0
.. c:function:: int uv_os_getpriority(uv_pid_t pid, int* priority)
Retrieves the scheduling priority of the process specified by `pid`. The
returned value of `priority` is between -20 (high priority) and 19 (low
priority).
.. note::
On Windows, the returned priority will equal one of the `UV_PRIORITY`
constants.
.. versionadded:: 1.23.0
.. c:function:: int uv_os_setpriority(uv_pid_t pid, int priority)
Sets the scheduling priority of the process specified by `pid`. The
`priority` value range is between -20 (high priority) and 19 (low priority).
The constants `UV_PRIORITY_LOW`, `UV_PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL`,
`UV_PRIORITY_NORMAL`, `UV_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL`, `UV_PRIORITY_HIGH`, and
`UV_PRIORITY_HIGHEST` are also provided for convenience.
.. note::
On Windows, this function utilizes `SetPriorityClass()`. The `priority`
argument is mapped to a Windows priority class. When retrieving the
process priority, the result will equal one of the `UV_PRIORITY`
constants, and not necessarily the exact value of `priority`.
.. note::
On Windows, setting `PRIORITY_HIGHEST` will only work for elevated user,
for others it will be silently reduced to `PRIORITY_HIGH`.
.. versionadded:: 1.23.0
