StreamPeerTCP

Inherits: StreamPeer < Reference < Object

TCP stream peer.

Description

TCP stream peer. This object can be used to connect to TCP servers, or also is returned by a TCP server.

Methods

Error	connect_to_host ( String host, int port )
void	disconnect_from_host ( )
String	get_connected_host ( ) const
int	get_connected_port ( ) const
Status	get_status ( )
bool	is_connected_to_host ( ) const
void	set_no_delay ( bool enabled )

Enumerations

enum Status:

• STATUS_NONE = 0 --- The initial status of the StreamPeerTCP. This is also the status after disconnecting.
• STATUS_CONNECTING = 1 --- A status representing a StreamPeerTCP that is connecting to a host.
• STATUS_CONNECTED = 2 --- A status representing a StreamPeerTCP that is connected to a host.
• STATUS_ERROR = 3 --- A status representing a StreamPeerTCP in error state.

Method Descriptions

Error connect_to_host ( String host, int port )

Connects to the specified host:port pair. A hostname will be resolved if valid. Returns @GlobalScope.OK on success or @GlobalScope.FAILED on failure.

void disconnect_from_host ( )

Disconnects from host.

String get_connected_host ( ) const

Returns the IP of this peer.

int get_connected_port ( ) const

Returns the port of this peer.

Status get_status ( )

Returns the status of the connection, see Status.

bool is_connected_to_host ( ) const

Returns true if this peer is currently connected or is connecting to a host, false otherwise.

void set_no_delay ( bool enabled )

If enabled is true, packets will be sent immediately. If enabled is false (the default), packet transfers will be delayed and combined using Nagle's algorithm.

Note: It's recommended to leave this disabled for applications that send large packets or need to transfer a lot of data, as enabling this can decrease the total available bandwidth.
