Motivation: I had a need to know the user credentials of a connected unix domain socket. Modifications: Added a class to encapsulate user credentials (UID, GID, and the PID). Augemented the Socket class to provide the JNI native interface to return this new class Augemented the c code to call getSockOpts passing <a href=http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html>SO_PEERCRED</a> Then surfaced the ability to get user credentials in the EpollDomainSocketChannel Result: The EpollDomainSocketChannel now has a the following function signature: public PeerCredentials peerCredentials() throws IOException allowing a caller to get the UID, GID, and PID of the linux process connected to the unix domain socket.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
