C++ Qt write to unix socket

I have a unix socket in /tmp/my_sock

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

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.

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".
