/**
 * A `GSocketControlMessage` is a special-purpose utility message that
 * can be sent to or received from a [class@Gio.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 descriptor over
 * a UNIX socket).
 * 
 * These messages are sent with [method@Gio.Socket.send_message] and received
 * with [method@Gio.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 [type@GObject.Type] type system before calling
 * [method@Gio.Socket.receive_message] to read such a message.
 *
 * Since: 2.22
