NAME
UV::TCP - TCP socket handles in libuv
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Socket;
# A new stream handle will be initialised against the default loop
my $tcp = UV::TCP->new;
$tcp->connect(pack_sockaddr_in(1234, inet_aton("127.0.0.1")), sub {
say "Connected!";
$tcp->write("Hello, server!\n");
});
# set up the data read callback
$tcp->on(read => sub {
my ($self, $err, $buf) = @_;
say "More data: $buf";
});
$tcp->read_start();DESCRIPTION
This module provides an interface to libuv's TCP stream handle.
EVENTS
UV::TCP inherits all events from UV::Stream and UV::Handle.
METHODS
UV::TCP inherits all methods from UV::Stream and UV::Handle and also makes the following extra methods available.
open
$tcp->open($fh);The open method associates the TCP handle with an existing filehandle already opened by the process.
nodelay
$tcp->nodelay($enable);The nodelay method controls the TCP_NODELAY socket option.
keepalive
$tcp->keepalive($enable, $delay);The keepalive method controls keepalive behaviour on the TCP socket. If the $enable argument is true then $delay must be supplied; if not it is ignored and may be absent.
simultaneous_accepts
$tcp->simultaneous_accepts($enable);The simultaneous_accepts method controls whether asynchronous accept requests are queued by the operating system.
bind
$tcp->bind($addr);The bind method associates the TCP socket with the given local address.
connect
$tcp->connect($addr, sub {
my ($err) = @_;
die "Cannot connect TCP socket - $err\n" if $err;
say "The TCP socket is now connected";
});The connect method requests that the TCP socket be connected a server found at the given address.
On completion the callback is invoked. It is passed undef on success, or an error value on failure. This error value can be compared numerically to one of the UV_E* constants, or printed as a string to give a message.
getpeername
my $addr = $tcp->getpeername;The getpeername method returns a packed sockaddr string containing the address to which this TCP handle is connected.
getsockname
my $addr = $tcp->getsockname;The getsockname method returns a packed sockaddr string containing the address on which this TCP handle is listening for incoming connections.
close_reset
$tcp->close_reset();
$tcp->close_reset(sub {say "we've closed"});The close_reset method requests that the socket be closed with a RST packet. It otherwise behaves similarly to "close" in UV::Handle.
