[SOLVED] Connect QLocalSocket to a Local Domain Socket in a non-Qt application

[j8882]

Hi,

Can I do IPC between a Qt application and a non-Qt application using QLocalSocket in the Qt application and local domain socket in the non-Qt application. I am using Linux.

Thanks

Hi and welcome to devnet,

I would say yes, since QLocalServer/Socket uses local domain socket on Unix (you need to test though)

I tried. It works.

You must use AF_UNIX family of socket and socket type SOCK_STREAM.
