Enumerations

.. _enum_StreamPeerTCP_Status:

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_constant_STATUS_NONE:

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_constant_STATUS_CONNECTING:

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_constant_STATUS_CONNECTED:

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_constant_STATUS_ERROR:

enum **Status**:

- **STATUS_NONE** = **0** --- The initial status of the ``StreamPeerTCP``, also the status after a disconnect.

- **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.

Description
-----------

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

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_connect_to_host:

- :ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **connect_to_host** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` host, :ref:`int<class_int>` port **)**

Connect to the specified host:port pair. A hostname will be resolved if valid. Returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` on success or :ref:`@GlobalScope.FAILED<class_@GlobalScope_constant_FAILED>` on failure.

----

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_disconnect_from_host:

- void **disconnect_from_host** **(** **)**

Disconnect from host.

----

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_get_connected_host:

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **get_connected_host** **(** **)** const

Returns the IP of this peer.

----

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_get_connected_port:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_connected_port** **(** **)** const

Returns the port of this peer.

----

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_get_status:

- :ref:`Status<enum_StreamPeerTCP_Status>` **get_status** **(** **)**

Returns the status of the connection, see :ref:`Status<enum_StreamPeerTCP_Status>`.

----

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_is_connected_to_host:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_connected_to_host** **(** **)** const

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

----

.. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_set_no_delay:

- void **set_no_delay** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` enabled **)**

Disable Nagle algorithm to improve latency for small packets.

Note that for applications that send large packets, or need to transfer a lot of data, this can reduce total bandwidth.
