/** A Socket control message.
 * A %SocketControlMessage is a special-purpose utility message that can be
 * sent to or received from a Socket. 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 description over a UNIX socket).
 *
 * These messages are sent with Gio::Socket::send() and received with
 * Gio::Socket::receive().
 *
 * To extend the set of control message that can be sent, subclass this class
 * and override the get_size_vfunc(), get_level_vfunc(), get_type_vfunc() and
 * serialize_vfunc() methods.
 *
 * To extend the set of control messages that can be received, subclass this
 * class and implement a DeserializeFunc function. Typically it would be a
 * static class method. Also, make sure you register the DeserializeFunc
 * function with a call to add_deserialize_func() before calling
 * Gio::Socket::receive() to read such a message.
