### Detailed Description

`GUnixInputStream` implements `\link{GInputStream}` for reading from a UNIX file descriptor, including asynchronous operations. The file descriptor must be selectable, so it doesn't work with opened files.

Note that ‘<gio/gunixinputstream.h>’ belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the ‘gio-unix-2.0.pc’ pkg-config file when using it.

### Properties

`close-fd` [logical : Read / Write]

  Whether to close the file descriptor when the stream is closed. Default value: TRUE Since 2.20

`fd` [integer : Read / Write / Construct Only]

  The file descriptor that the stream reads from. Default value: -1 Since 2.20
