+The TQSocket class provides a buffered TCP connection. + +<p> + +<p> It provides a totally non-blocking <a href="tqiodevice.html">TQIODevice</a>, and modifies and +extends the API of TQIODevice with socket-specific code. +<p> Note that a <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a> must have been constructed before this +class can be used. +<p> The functions you're likely to call most are <a href="#connectToHost">connectToHost</a>(), +<a href="#bytesAvailable">bytesAvailable</a>(), <a href="#canReadLine">canReadLine</a>() and the ones it inherits from +TQIODevice. +<p> connectToHost() is the most-used function. As its name implies, +it opens a connection to a named host. +<p> Most network protocols are either packet-oriented or +line-oriented. canReadLine() indicates whether a connection +contains an entire unread line or not, and bytesAvailable() +returns the number of bytes available for reading. +<p> The signals <a href="#error">error</a>(), <a href="#connected">connected</a>(), <a href="#readyRead">readyRead</a>() and +<a href="#connectionClosed">connectionClosed</a>() inform you of the progress of the connection. +There are also some less commonly used signals. <a href="#hostFound">hostFound</a>() is +emitted when connectToHost() has finished its DNS lookup and is +starting its TCP connection. <a href="#delayedCloseFinished">delayedCloseFinished</a>() is emitted +when <a href="#close">close</a>() succeeds. <a href="#bytesWritten">bytesWritten</a>() is emitted when TQSocket +moves data from its "to be written" queue into the TCP +implementation. +<p> There are several access functions for the socket: <a href="#state">state</a>() returns +whether the object is idle, is doing a DNS lookup, is connecting, +has an operational connection, etc. <a href="#address">address</a>() and <a href="#port">port</a>() return +the IP address and port used for the connection. The <a href="#peerAddress">peerAddress</a>() +and <a href="#peerPort">peerPort</a>() functions return the IP address and port used by +the peer, and <a href="#peerName">peerName</a>() returns the name of the peer (normally +the name that was passed to <a href="#connectToHost">connectToHost</a>()). <a href="#socketDevice">socketDevice</a>() +returns a pointer to the <a href="tqsocketdevice.html">TQSocketDevice</a> used for this socket. +<p> TQSocket inherits <a href="tqiodevice.html">TQIODevice</a>, and reimplements some functions. In +general, you can treat it as a TQIODevice for writing, and mostly +also for reading. The match isn't perfect, since the TQIODevice +API is designed for devices that are controlled by the same +machine, and an asynchronous peer-to-peer network connection isn't +quite like that. For example, there is nothing that matches +<a href="tqiodevice.html#size">TQIODevice::size</a>() exactly. The documentation for <a href="#open">open</a>(), <a href="#close">close</a>(), +<a href="#flush">flush</a>(), <a href="#size">size</a>(), <a href="#at">at</a>(), <a href="#atEnd">atEnd</a>(), <a href="#readBlock">readBlock</a>(), <a href="#writeBlock">writeBlock</a>(), +<a href="#getch">getch</a>(), <a href="#putch">putch</a>(), <a href="#ungetch">ungetch</a>() and <a href="#readLine">readLine</a>() describes the +differences in detail. +<p> <b>Warning:</b> TQSocket is not suitable for use in threads. If you need +to uses sockets in threads use the lower-level <a href="tqsocketdevice.html">TQSocketDevice</a> class. +<p> <b>Warning:</b> Because TQt doesn't use the native socketstream +implementation on Mac OS X, TQSocket has an implicit transfer +latency of 100ms. You can achieve lower latency on Mac OS X by +using TQSocketDevice instead. +<p> <p>See also <a href="tqsocketdevice.html">TQSocketDevice</a>, <a href="tqhostaddress.html">TQHostAddress</a>, <a href="tqsocketnotifier.html">TQSocketNotifier</a>, and <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="Error-enum"></a>TQSocket::Error</h3> + +<p> This enum specifies the possible errors: +<ul> +<li><tt>TQSocket::ErrConnectionRefused</tt> - if the connection was refused +<li><tt>TQSocket::ErrHostNotFound</tt> - if the host was not found +<li><tt>TQSocket::ErrSocketRead</tt> - if a read from the socket failed +</ul> +<h3 class=fn><a name="State-enum"></a>TQSocket::State</h3> + +<p> This enum defines the connection states: +<ul> +<li><tt>TQSocket::Idle</tt> - if there is no connection +<li><tt>TQSocket::HostLookup</tt> - during a DNS lookup +<li><tt>TQSocket::Connecting</tt> - during TCP connection establishment +<li><tt>TQSocket::Connected</tt> - when there is an operational connection +<li><tt>TQSocket::Closing</tt> - if the socket is closing down, but is not yet closed. +</ul> +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQSocket"></a>TQSocket::TQSocket ( <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 ) +</h3> +Creates a TQSocket object in <a href="#State-enum">TQSocket::Idle</a> state. +<p> The <em>parent</em> and <em>name</em> arguments are passed on to the <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> +constructor. +<p> Note that a <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a> must have been constructed before sockets +can be used. + +<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQSocket"></a>TQSocket::~TQSocket ()<tt> [virtual]</tt> +</h3> +Destroys the socket.

This is the default. +<p> If you read the data in the <a href="#readyRead">readyRead</a>() signal, you shouldn't use this +option since it might slow down your program unnecessary.
