/**
* SECTION:gsocketcontrolmessage
* @title: GSocketControlMessage
* @short_description: A GSocket control message
* @include: gio/gio.h
* @see_also: #GSocket.
*
* A #GSocketControlMessage is a special-purpose utility message that
* can be sent to or received from a #GSocket. These types of
* messages are often called "ancillary data".
*
* The message can represent some sort of special instruction to or
* information from the socket or can represent a special kind of
* transfer to the peer (for example, sending a file descriptor over
* a UNIX socket).
*
* These messages are sent with g_socket_send_message() and received
* with g_socket_receive_message().
*
* To extend the set of control message that can be sent, subclass this
* class and override the get_size, get_level, get_type and serialize
* methods.
*
* To extend the set of control messages that can be received, subclass
* this class and implement the deserialize method. Also, make sure your
* class is registered with the GType typesystem before calling
* g_socket_receive_message() to read such a message.
*
* Since: 2.22
