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

Part of twisted.internet.tcp View Source View In Hierarchy

Known subclasses: twisted.internet.tcp.BaseClient, twisted.internet.tcp.Server

Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.ISystemHandle, twisted.internet.interfaces.ITCPTransport

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 __init__(self, skt, protocol, reactor=None): (source)
Undocumented
def getHandle(self): (source)
Return the socket for this connection.
def doRead(self): (source)
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)
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 _closeWriteConnection(self): (source)
Undocumented
def readConnectionLost(self, reason): (source)
Indicates read connection was lost.
def connectionLost(self, reason): (source)
See abstract.FileDescriptor.connectionLost().
def logPrefix(self): (source)
Return the prefix to log with when I own the logging thread.
def getTcpNoDelay(self): (source)
Return if TCP_NODELAY is enabled.
def setTcpNoDelay(self, enabled): (source)
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 getTcpKeepAlive(self): (source)
Return if SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled.
def setTcpKeepAlive(self, enabled): (source)
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.
