twisted.internet.tcp.Connection : API documentation

t.i.t.Connection(_TLSConnectionMixin, abstract.FileDescriptor, _SocketCloser, _AbortingMixin) : class documentation

Superclass of all socket-based FileDescriptors.

This is an abstract superclass of all objects which represent a TCP/IP connection based socket.

Instance Variable	logstr	prefix used when logging events related to this connection. (type: `str`)
Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	getHandle	Return the socket for this connection.
Method	doRead	Calls self.protocol.dataReceived with all available data.
Method	writeSomeData	Write as much as possible of the given data to this TCP connection.
Method	readConnectionLost	Indicates read connection was lost.
Method	connectionLost	See abstract.FileDescriptor.connectionLost().
Method	logPrefix	Return the prefix to log with when I own the logging thread.
Method	getTcpNoDelay	Return if `TCP_NODELAY` is enabled.
Method	setTcpNoDelay	Enable/disable `TCP_NODELAY`.
Method	getTcpKeepAlive	Return if `SO_KEEPALIVE` is enabled.
Method	setTcpKeepAlive	Enable/disable `SO_KEEPALIVE`.
Method	_dataReceived	Undocumented
Method	_closeWriteConnection	Undocumented

Inherited from FileDescriptor:

Method	doWrite	Called when data can be written.
Method	writeConnectionLost	Indicates write connection was lost.
Method	write	Reliably write some data.
Method	writeSequence	Reliably write a sequence of data.
Method	loseConnection	Close the connection at the next available opportunity.
Method	loseWriteConnection	Undocumented
Method	stopReading	Stop waiting for read availability.
Method	stopWriting	Stop waiting for write availability.
Method	startReading	Start waiting for read availability.
Method	startWriting	Start waiting for write availability.
Method	stopConsuming	Stop consuming data.
Method	resumeProducing	Resume producing data.
Method	pauseProducing	Pause producing data.
Method	stopProducing	Stop producing data.
Method	fileno	File Descriptor number for select().
Method	_postLoseConnection	Called after a loseConnection(), when all data has been written.
Method	_isSendBufferFull	Determine whether the user-space send buffer for this transport is full or not.
Method	_maybePauseProducer	Possibly pause a producer, if there is one and the send buffer is full.

Inherited from _ConsumerMixin (via FileDescriptor):

Instance Variable	producer	`None` if no producer is registered, otherwise the registered producer.
Instance Variable	producerPaused	A flag indicating whether the producer is currently paused. (type: `bool` or `int`)
Instance Variable	streamingProducer 0	A flag indicating whether the producer was registered as a streaming (ie push) producer or not (ie a pull producer). This will determine whether the consumer may ever need to pause and resume it, or if it can merely call `resumeProducing` on it when buffer space is available.
Instance Variable	streamingProducer	`bool` or `int`
Method	registerProducer	Register to receive data from a producer.
Method	unregisterProducer	Stop consuming data from a producer, without disconnecting.

Inherited from _LogOwner (via FileDescriptor):

Method _getLogPrefix Determine the log prefix to use for messages related to applicationObject, which may or may not be an interfaces.ILoggingContext provider.

Inherited from _SocketCloser:

Method

_closeSocket

Undocumented

Inherited from _AbortingMixin:

Method	abortConnection	Aborts the connection immediately, dropping any buffered data.
Instance Variable	_aborting	Set to `True` when `abortConnection` is called. (type: `bool`)

logstr =

prefix used when logging events related to this connection. (type: str)

def doRead(self): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IReadDescriptor

overrides twisted.internet.abstract.FileDescriptor.doRead

Calls self.protocol.dataReceived with all available data.

This reads up to self.bufferSize bytes of data from its socket, then calls self.dataReceived(data) to process it. If the connection is not lost through an error in the physical recv(), this function will return the result of the dataReceived call.

def _dataReceived(self, data): (source)

Undocumented

def writeSomeData(self, data): (source)

overrides twisted.internet.abstract.FileDescriptor.writeSomeData

Write as much as possible of the given data to this TCP connection.

This sends up to self.SEND_LIMIT bytes from data. If the connection is lost, an exception is returned. Otherwise, the number of bytes successfully written is returned.

def setTcpNoDelay(self, enabled): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.ITCPTransport

Enable/disable TCP_NODELAY.

Enabling TCP_NODELAY turns off Nagle's algorithm. Small packets are sent sooner, possibly at the expense of overall throughput.

def setTcpKeepAlive(self, enabled): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.ITCPTransport

Enable/disable SO_KEEPALIVE.

Enabling SO_KEEPALIVE sends packets periodically when the connection is otherwise idle, usually once every two hours. They are intended to allow detection of lost peers in a non-infinite amount of time.
