NOTE: Turn on DrvFS metadata for these examples. It is important to note that we enforce both Unix and Windows permissions for Unix interop between WSL/Windows–this is illustrated in the samples below. As Windows Unix socket implementation does not currently support passing ancillary data such as `SCM_RIGHTS` etc., the ancillary data will also not be supported for Win32WSL interop over Unix sockets.Any other operation on the socket will render it an exclusive WSL Unix socket that can only communicate with other WSL Unix sockets. For a WSL Unix socket to establish connection with Windows Unix sockets, the first operation after the socket is created should be either a bind or connect.If the path is a LxFS path (i.e Linux mounted volume within WSL, ex: /home, /var, /usr etc.) then it can only communicate with WSL Unix sockets. If the Unix socket path is a DrvFS path (i.e your system volumes mounted within WSL, ex: /mnt/c, /mnt/d etc.) then it can only communicate to a Windows Unix socket. So, how is it determined which one is it? It’s based on the path the socket is bound to or connecting to, as specified in the `bind` or `connect` syscall. For instance, a WSL Unix socket server can only accept connections from either WSL Unix socket(s) OR Win32 Unix socket(s).
A WSL Unix socket can only communicate with a Win32 Unix socket OR with a WSL Unix socket, but not both.For Windows application, the path is in Win32 format and for WSL applications, the format is as in Linux file system. One thing worth noting is the path of the socket.
ROBO 3T NO UNIX SOCKET SUPPORT ON WINDOWS CODE
The code for this application is at the bottom of this article. Let’s look at how the code for such applications would be written. Additionally, you would like to make this service available to both Windows and WSL applications. Consider a requirement where you want to run some kind of service as a Windows application.
Now, we’re building on that functionality. Back in December, we blogged about bringing AF_UNIX to Windows. Starting in Windows Insider build 17093, a WSL application can communicate with a Windows application over Unix sockets.
