This object can be used to connect to TCP servers, or also is returned by a TCP server. \ **Note:** When exporting to Android, make sure to enable the ``INTERNET`` permission in the Android export preset before exporting the project or using one-click deploy. Otherwise, network communication of any kind will be blocked by Android. .. rst-class:: classref-reftable-group Methods ------- .. table:: :widths: auto +---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`Error` | :ref:`bind`\ (\ port\: :ref:`int`, host\: :ref:`String` = "*"\ ) | +---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`Error` | :ref:`connect_to_host`\ (\ host\: :ref:`String`, port\: :ref:`int`\ ) | +---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`String` | :ref:`get_connected_host`\ (\ ) |const| | +---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`int` | :ref:`get_connected_port`\ (\ ) |const| | +---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`int` | :ref:`get_local_port`\ (\ ) |const| | +---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |void| | :ref:`set_no_delay`\ (\ enabled\: :ref:`bool`\ ) | +---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ .. rst-class:: classref-section-separator ---- .. rst-class:: classref-descriptions-group Method Descriptions ------------------- .. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_bind: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`Error` **bind**\ (\ port\: :ref:`int`, host\: :ref:`String` = "*"\ ) :ref:`🔗` Opens the TCP socket, and binds it to the specified local address. This method is generally not needed, and only used to force the subsequent call to :ref:`connect_to_host()` to use the specified ``host`` and ``port`` as source address. This can be desired in some NAT punchthrough techniques, or when forcing the source network interface. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_connect_to_host: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`Error` **connect_to_host**\ (\ host\: :ref:`String`, port\: :ref:`int`\ ) :ref:`🔗` Connects to the specified ``host:port`` pair. A hostname will be resolved if valid. Returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK` on success. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_get_connected_host: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`String` **get_connected_host**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗` Returns the IP of this peer. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_get_connected_port: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`int` **get_connected_port**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗` Returns the port of this peer. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_get_local_port: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`int` **get_local_port**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗` Returns the local port to which this peer is bound. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_StreamPeerTCP_method_set_no_delay: .. rst-class:: classref-method |void| **set_no_delay**\ (\ enabled\: :ref:`bool`\ ) :ref:`🔗` If ``enabled`` is ``true``, packets will be sent immediately. If ``enabled`` is ``false`` (the default), packet transfers will be delayed and combined using `Nagle's algorithm `__. \ **Note:** It's recommended to leave this disabled for applications that send large packets or need to transfer a lot of data, as enabling this can decrease the total available bandwidth. .. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)` .. |required| replace:: :abbr:`required (This method is required to be overridden when extending its base class.)` .. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)` .. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)` .. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)` .. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)` .. |operator| replace:: :abbr:`operator (This method describes a valid operator to use with this type as left-hand operand.)` .. |bitfield| replace:: :abbr:`BitField (This value is an integer composed as a bitmask of the following flags.)` .. |void| replace:: :abbr:`void (No return value.)`
