Using synchronous socket operations blocks the +program, which is clearly not acceptable for an event-driven GUI +program. +<p> Once you have opened a non-blocking socket (whether for TCP, UDP, +a UNIX-domain socket, or any other protocol family your operating +system supports), you can create a socket notifier to monitor the +socket. Then you connect the <a href="#activated">activated</a>() signal to the slot you +want to be called when a socket event occurs. +<p> Note for Windows users: the socket passed to TQSocketNotifier will +become non-blocking, even if it was created as a blocking socket. +<p> There are three types of socket notifiers (read, write and +exception); you must specify one of these in the constructor. +<p> The type specifies when the activated() signal is to be emitted: +<ol type=1> +<li> TQSocketNotifier::Read - There is data to be read (socket read event). +<li> TQSocketNotifier::Write - Data can be written (socket write event). +<li> TQSocketNofifier::Exception - An exception has occurred (socket +exception event). We recommend against using this. +</ol> +<p> For example, if you need to monitor both reads and writes for the +same socket you must create two socket notifiers. +<p> For read notifiers it makes little sense to connect the +activated() signal to more than one slot because the data can be +read from the socket only once. +<p> Also observe that if you do not read all the available data when +the read notifier fires, it fires again and again. +<p> For write notifiers, immediately disable the notifier after the +<a href="#activated">activated</a>() signal has been received and you have sent the data to +be written on the socket. When you have more data to be written, +enable it again to get a new activated() signal. The exception is +if the socket data writing operation (send() or equivalent) fails +with a "would block" error, which means that some buffer is full +and you must wait before sending more data. In that case you do +not need to disable and re-enable the write notifier; it will fire +again as soon as the system allows more data to be sent. +<p> The behavior of a write notifier that is left in enabled state +after having emitting the first activated() signal (and no "would +block" error has occurred) is undefined. Depending on the +operating system, it may fire on every pass of the event loop or +not at all. +<p> If you need a time-out for your sockets you can use either <a href="qobject.html#startTimer">timer events</a> or the <a href="qtimer.html">TQTimer</a> class. +<p> Socket action is detected in the <a href="qapplication.html#exec">main + event loop</a> of TQt. The X11 version of TQt has a single UNIX +select() call that incorporates all socket notifiers and the X +socket. +<p> Note that on XFree86 for OS/2, select() works only in the thread +in which main() is running; you should therefore use that thread +for GUI operations. +<p> <p>See also <a href="qsocket.html">TQSocket</a>, <a href="qserversocket.html">TQServerSocket</a>, <a href="qsocketdevice.html">TQSocketDevice</a>, <a href="qfile.html#handle">TQFile::handle</a>(), and <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="Type-enum"></a>TQSocketNotifier::Type</h3> + +<ul> +<li><tt>TQSocketNotifier::Read</tt> +<li><tt>TQSocketNotifier::Write</tt> +<li><tt>TQSocketNotifier::Exception</tt> +</ul> +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQSocketNotifier"></a>TQSocketNotifier::TQSocketNotifier ( int socket, <a href="qsocketnotifier.html#Type-enum">Type</a> type, <a href="qobject.html">TQObject</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 ) +</h3> +Constructs a socket notifier called <em>name</em>, with the parent, <em>parent</em>.
