Closes a TCP object. The internal socket used by the object is closed
|
|
and the local address to which the object was
|
|
bound is made available to other applications. No further operations

(except for further calls to the <tt>close</tt> method) are allowed on

|
a closed socket.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=note>
|
|
Note: It is important to close all used sockets once they are not
|
|
needed, since, in many systems, each socket uses a file descriptor,
|
|
which are limited system resources. Garbage-collected objects are
|
|
automatically closed before destruction, though.

<p class=return>

In case of error, the method returns <b><tt>nil</tt></b> followed by a string

describing the error. In case of success, the method returns 1.

|
|
|

<p class=note>

Note: The function <a href=socket.html#connect><tt>socket.connect</tt></a>
|

is available and is a shortcut for the creation of client sockets.
|

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=note>
|
|
Note: Starting with LuaSocket 2.0,
|
|
the <a href=#settimeout><tt>settimeout</tt></a>
|
|
method affects the behavior of <tt>connect</tt>, causing it to return
|
|
with an error in case of a timeout. If that happens, you can still call <a
|
|
href=socket.html#select><tt>socket.select</tt></a> with the socket in the
|
|
<tt>sendt</tt> table. The socket will be writable when the connection is
|
|
established.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=note>
|
|
Note: Starting with LuaSocket 3.0, the host name resolution
|
|
depends on whether the socket was created by <a
|
|
href=#socket.tcp><tt>socket.tcp</tt></a> or <a
|
|
href=#socket.tcp6><tt>socket.tcp6</tt></a>. Addresses from
|
|
the appropriate family are tried in succession until the
|
|
first success or until the last failure.

|
Reads data from a client object, according to the specified <em>read

pattern</em>. Patterns follow the Lua file I/O format, and the difference in performance between all patterns is negligible.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=parameters>
|
|
<tt>Pattern</tt> can be any of the following:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> '<tt>*a</tt>': reads from the socket until the connection is
|
|
closed. No end-of-line translation is performed;
|
|
<li> '<tt>*l</tt>': reads a line of text from the socket. The line is
|
|
terminated by a LF character (ASCII 10), optionally preceded by a
|
|
CR character (ASCII 13). The CR and LF characters are not included in
|
|
the returned line. In fact, <em>all</em> CR characters are
|
|
ignored by the pattern. This is the default pattern;
|
|
<li> <tt>number</tt>: causes the method to read a specified <tt>number</tt>
|
|
of bytes from the socket.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p class=parameters>
|
|
<tt>Prefix</tt> is an optional string to be concatenated to the beginning
|
|
of any received data before return.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=return>
|
|
If successful, the method returns the received pattern. In case of error,
|
|
the method returns <tt><b>nil</b></tt> followed by an error
|
|
message, followed by a (possibly empty) string containing
|
|
the partial that was received. The error message can be
|
|
the string '<tt>closed</tt>' in case the connection was
|
|
closed before the transmission was completed or the string
|
|
'<tt>timeout</tt>' in case there was a timeout during the operation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=note>
|
|
<b>Important note</b>: This function was changed <em>severely</em>. It used
|
|
to support multiple patterns (but I have never seen this feature used) and
|
|
now it doesn't anymore. Partial results used to be returned in the same
|
|
way as successful results. This last feature violated the idea that all
|
|
functions should return <tt><b>nil</b></tt> on error. Thus it was changed
|
|
too.

<p class=parameters>
|
|
<tt>Data</tt> is the string to be sent. The optional arguments

<tt>i</tt> and <tt>j</tt> work exactly like the standard

<tt>string.sub</tt> Lua function to allow the selection of a
|
|
substring to be sent.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=return>
|
|
If successful, the method returns the index of the last byte
|
|
within <tt>[i, j]</tt> that has been sent. Notice that, if
|
|
<tt>i</tt> is 1 or absent, this is effectively the total
|
|
number of bytes sent. In case of error, the method returns
|
|
<b><tt>nil</tt></b>, followed by an error message, followed
|
|
by the index of the last byte within <tt>[i, j]</tt> that
|
|
has been sent. You might want to try again from the byte
|
|
following that. The error message can be '<tt>closed</tt>'
|
|
in case the connection was closed before the transmission
|
|
was completed or the string '<tt>timeout</tt>' in case
|
|
there was a timeout during the operation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=note>
|
|
Note: Output is <em>not</em> buffered. For small strings,
|
|
it is always better to concatenate them in Lua
|
|
(with the '<tt>..</tt>' operator) and send the result in one call
|
|
instead of calling the method several times.

Sets options for the TCP object. Options are only needed by low-level or

are sure you need it.

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=parameters>
|
|
<tt>Option</tt> is a string with the option name, and <tt>value</tt>
|
|
depends on the option being set:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li> '<tt>keepalive</tt>': Setting this option to <tt>true</tt> enables
|
|
the periodic transmission of messages on a connected socket. Should the
|
|
connected party fail to respond to these messages, the connection is
|
|
considered broken and processes using the socket are notified;
|
|
|
|
<li> '<tt>linger</tt>': Controls the action taken when unsent data are
|
|
queued on a socket and a close is performed. The value is a table with a
|
|
boolean entry '<tt>on</tt>' and a numeric entry for the time interval
|
|
'<tt>timeout</tt>' in seconds. If the '<tt>on</tt>' field is set to
|
|
<tt>true</tt>, the system will block the process on the close attempt until
|
|
it is able to transmit the data or until '<tt>timeout</tt>' has passed. If
|
|
'<tt>on</tt>' is <tt>false</tt> and a close is issued, the system will
|
|
process the close in a manner that allows the process to continue as
|
|
quickly as possible. I do not advise you to set this to anything other than
|
|
zero;
|
|
|
|
<li> '<tt>reuseaddr</tt>': Setting this option indicates that the rules
|
|
used in validating addresses supplied in a call to
|
|
<a href=#bind><tt>bind</tt></a> should allow reuse of local addresses;
|
|
|
|
<li> '<tt>tcp-nodelay</tt>': Setting this option to <tt>true</tt>
|
|
disables the Nagle's algorithm for the connection;
|
|
|
|
<li> '<tt>ipv6-v6only</tt>':
|
|
Setting this option to <tt>true</tt> restricts an <tt>inet6</tt> socket to
|
|
sending and receiving only IPv6 packets.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p class=return>
|

The method returns 1 in case of success, or <b><tt>nil</tt></b>

<p class=description>
|
|
Changes the timeout values for the object. By default,
|
|
all I/O operations are blocking. That is, any call to the methods
|
|
<a href=#send><tt>send</tt></a>,
|
|
<a href=#receive><tt>receive</tt></a>, and
|
|
<a href=#accept><tt>accept</tt></a>
|
|
will block indefinitely, until the operation completes. The
|
|
<tt>settimeout</tt> method defines a limit on the amount of time the
|
|
I/O methods can block. When a timeout is set and the specified amount of
|
|
time has elapsed, the affected methods give up and fail with an error code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=parameters>
|
|
The amount of time to wait is specified as the
|
|
<tt>value</tt> parameter, in seconds. There are two timeout modes and
|
|
both can be used together for fine tuning:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> '<tt>b</tt>': <em>block</em> timeout. Specifies the upper limit on
|
|
the amount of time LuaSocket can be blocked by the operating system
|
|
while waiting for completion of any single I/O operation. This is the
|
|
default mode;</li>
|
|
|
|
<li> '<tt>t</tt>': <em>total</em> timeout. Specifies the upper limit on
|
|
the amount of time LuaSocket can block a Lua script before returning from
|
|
a call.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p class=parameters>
|
|
The <b><tt>nil</tt></b> timeout <tt>value</tt> allows operations to block
|
|
indefinitely. Negative timeout values have the same effect.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=note>
|
|
Note: although timeout values have millisecond precision in LuaSocket,
|
|
large blocks can cause I/O functions not to respect timeout values due
|
|
to the time the library takes to transfer blocks to and from the OS
|
|
and to and from the Lua interpreter. Also, function that accept host names
|
|
and perform automatic name resolution might be blocked by the resolver for
|
|
longer than the specified timeout value.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=note>
|
|
Note: The old <tt>timeout</tt> method is deprecated. The name has been
|
|
changed for sake of uniformity, since all other method names already
|
|
contained verbs making their imperative nature obvious.
