Socket.TCP (socket2 v2.1.2)

This module wraps a passive TCP socket using gen_tcp.

Options

When creating a socket you can pass a series of options to use for it.

  • :as sets the kind of value returned by recv, either :binary or :list, the default is :binary
  • :mode can be either :passive or :active, default is :passive
  • :local must be a keyword list
    • :address the local address to use
    • :port the local port to use
    • :fd an already opened file descriptor to use
  • :backlog sets the listen backlog
  • :watermark must be a keyword list
    • :low defines the :low_watermark, see inet:setopts
    • :high defines the :high_watermark, see inet:setopts
  • :version sets the IP version to use
  • :options must be a list of atoms or tuples:
    • :keepalive sets SO_KEEPALIVE
    • :nodelay sets TCP_NODELAY
    • :defer_accept sets TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT
    • {:defer_accept, seconds} set TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT with the given seconds defer time
    • :fast_open enables tcp fast open (TFO) on the socket
    • {:fast_open, queue_len} enables TFO with the given queue_len
    • :fast_open_connect enables tcp fast open connect (TFO) on the socket
  • :packet see inet:setopts
  • :size sets the max length of the packet body, see inet:setopts

Examples 

server = Socket.TCP.listen!(1337, packet: :line)

client = server |> Socket.accept!
client |> Socket.Stream.send!(client |> Socket.Stream.recv!)
client |> Socket.Stream.close
