:c:type:`uv_tcp_t` --- TCP handle
=================================
TCP handles are used to represent both TCP streams and servers.
:c:type:`uv_tcp_t` is a 'subclass' of :c:type:`uv_stream_t`.
Data types
----------
.. c:type:: uv_tcp_t
TCP handle type.
Public members
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
N/A
.. seealso:: The :c:type:`uv_stream_t` members also apply.
API
---
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_init(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_tcp_t* handle)
Initialize the handle. No socket is created as of yet.
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_init_ex(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_tcp_t* handle, unsigned int flags)
Initialize the handle with the specified flags. At the moment only the lower 8 bits
of the `flags` parameter are used as the socket domain. A socket will be created
for the given domain. If the specified domain is ``AF_UNSPEC`` no socket is created,
just like :c:func:`uv_tcp_init`.
.. versionadded:: 1.7.0
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_open(uv_tcp_t* handle, uv_os_sock_t sock)
Open an existing file descriptor or SOCKET as a TCP handle.
.. versionchanged:: 1.2.1 the file descriptor is set to non-blocking mode.
.. note::
The passed file descriptor or SOCKET is not checked for its type, but
it's required that it represents a valid stream socket.
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_nodelay(uv_tcp_t* handle, int enable)
Enable `TCP_NODELAY`, which disables Nagle's algorithm.
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_keepalive(uv_tcp_t* handle, int enable, unsigned int delay)
Enable / disable TCP keep-alive. `delay` is the initial delay in seconds,
ignored when `enable` is zero.
After `delay` has been reached, 10 successive probes, each spaced 1 second
from the previous one, will still happen. If the connection is still lost
at the end of this procedure, then the handle is destroyed with a
``UV_ETIMEDOUT`` error passed to the corresponding callback.
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_simultaneous_accepts(uv_tcp_t* handle, int enable)
Enable / disable simultaneous asynchronous accept requests that are
queued by the operating system when listening for new TCP connections.
This setting is used to tune a TCP server for the desired performance.
Having simultaneous accepts can significantly improve the rate of accepting
connections (which is why it is enabled by default) but may lead to uneven
load distribution in multi-process setups.
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_bind(uv_tcp_t* handle, const struct sockaddr* addr, unsigned int flags)
Bind the handle to an address and port. `addr` should point to an
initialized ``struct sockaddr_in`` or ``struct sockaddr_in6``.
When the port is already taken, you can expect to see an ``UV_EADDRINUSE``
error from :c:func:`uv_listen` or :c:func:`uv_tcp_connect`. That is,
a successful call to this function does not guarantee that the call
to :c:func:`uv_listen` or :c:func:`uv_tcp_connect` will succeed as well.
`flags` can contain ``UV_TCP_IPV6ONLY``, in which case dual-stack support
is disabled and only IPv6 is used.
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_getsockname(const uv_tcp_t* handle, struct sockaddr* name, int* namelen)
Get the current address to which the handle is bound. `name` must point to
a valid and big enough chunk of memory, ``struct sockaddr_storage`` is
recommended for IPv4 and IPv6 support.
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_getpeername(const uv_tcp_t* handle, struct sockaddr* name, int* namelen)
Get the address of the peer connected to the handle. `name` must point to
a valid and big enough chunk of memory, ``struct sockaddr_storage`` is
recommended for IPv4 and IPv6 support.
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_connect(uv_connect_t* req, uv_tcp_t* handle, const struct sockaddr* addr, uv_connect_cb cb)
Establish an IPv4 or IPv6 TCP connection. Provide an initialized TCP handle
and an uninitialized :c:type:`uv_connect_t`. `addr` should point to an
initialized ``struct sockaddr_in`` or ``struct sockaddr_in6``.
On Windows if the `addr` is initialized to point to an unspecified address
(``0.0.0.0`` or ``::``) it will be changed to point to ``localhost``.
This is done to match the behavior of Linux systems.
The callback is made when the connection has been established or when a
connection error happened.
.. versionchanged:: 1.19.0 added ``0.0.0.0`` and ``::`` to ``localhost``
mapping
.. seealso:: The :c:type:`uv_stream_t` API functions also apply.
.. c:function:: int uv_tcp_close_reset(uv_tcp_t* handle, uv_close_cb close_cb)
Resets a TCP connection by sending a RST packet. This is accomplished by
setting the `SO_LINGER` socket option with a linger interval of zero and
then calling :c:func:`uv_close`.
Due to some platform inconsistencies, mixing of :c:func:`uv_shutdown` and
:c:func:`uv_tcp_close_reset` calls is not allowed.
.. versionadded:: 1.32.0
.. c:function:: int uv_socketpair(int type, int protocol, uv_os_sock_t socket_vector[2], int flags0, int flags1)
Create a pair of connected sockets with the specified properties.
The resulting handles can be passed to `uv_tcp_open`, used with `uv_spawn`,
or for any other purpose.
Valid values for `flags0` and `flags1` are:
- UV_NONBLOCK_PIPE: Opens the specified socket handle for `OVERLAPPED`
or `FIONBIO`/`O_NONBLOCK` I/O usage.
This is recommended for handles that will be used by libuv,
and not usually recommended otherwise.
Equivalent to :man:`socketpair(2)` with a domain of AF_UNIX.
.. versionadded:: 1.41.0
