Socket

open class Socket : Object, SocketProtocol

Together with AtkPlug, AtkSocket provides the ability to embed accessibles from one process into another in a fashion that is transparent to assistive technologies. AtkSocket works as the container of AtkPlug, embedding it using the method atk_socket_embed(). Any accessible contained in the AtkPlug will appear to the assistive technologies as being inside the application that created the AtkSocket.

The communication between a AtkSocket and a AtkPlug is done by the IPC layer of the accessibility framework, normally implemented by the D-Bus based implementation of AT-SPI (at-spi2). If that is the case, at-spi-atk2 is the responsible to implement the abstract methods atk_plug_get_id() and atk_socket_embed(), so an ATK implementor shouldn’t reimplement them. The process that contains the AtkPlug is responsible to send the ID returned by atk_plug_id() to the process that contains the AtkSocket, so it could call the method atk_socket_embed() in order to embed it.

For the same reasons, an implementor doesn’t need to implement atk_object_get_n_accessible_children() and atk_object_ref_accessible_child(). All the logic related to those functions will be implemented by the IPC layer.

The Socket type acts as a reference-counted owner of an underlying AtkSocket instance. It provides the methods that can operate on this data type through SocketProtocol conformance. Use Socket as a strong reference or owner of a AtkSocket instance.

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying `C` data type.

    This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Socket instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<AtkSocket>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object
