Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_StreamPeerSocket_Status:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **Status**: :ref:`🔗<enum_StreamPeerSocket_Status>`

.. _class_StreamPeerSocket_constant_STATUS_NONE:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Status<enum_StreamPeerSocket_Status>` **STATUS_NONE** = ``0``

The initial status of the **StreamPeerSocket**. This is also the status after disconnecting.

.. _class_StreamPeerSocket_constant_STATUS_CONNECTING:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Status<enum_StreamPeerSocket_Status>` **STATUS_CONNECTING** = ``1``

A status representing a **StreamPeerSocket** that is connecting to a host.

.. _class_StreamPeerSocket_constant_STATUS_CONNECTED:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Status<enum_StreamPeerSocket_Status>` **STATUS_CONNECTED** = ``2``

A status representing a **StreamPeerSocket** that is connected to a host.

.. _class_StreamPeerSocket_constant_STATUS_ERROR:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Status<enum_StreamPeerSocket_Status>` **STATUS_ERROR** = ``3``

A status representing a **StreamPeerSocket** in error state.

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

.. _class_StreamPeerSocket_method_disconnect_from_host:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **disconnect_from_host**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_StreamPeerSocket_method_disconnect_from_host>`

Disconnects from host.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_StreamPeerSocket_method_get_status:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Status<enum_StreamPeerSocket_Status>` **get_status**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_StreamPeerSocket_method_get_status>`

Returns the status of the connection.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_StreamPeerSocket_method_poll:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **poll**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_StreamPeerSocket_method_poll>`

Polls the socket, updating its state. See :ref:`get_status()<class_StreamPeerSocket_method_get_status>`.
