Inherited from _SendmsgMixin:

Method doRead Calls {IProtocol.dataReceived} with all available data and IFileDescriptorReceiver.fileDescriptorReceived once for each received file descriptor in ancillary data.
Method sendFileDescriptor Queue the given file descriptor to be sent and start trying to send it.
Method writeSomeData Send as much of data as possible. Also send any pending file descriptors.
Method _ancillaryLevelSOLSOCKETTypeSCMRIGHTS Processes ancillary data with level SOL_SOCKET and type SCM_RIGHTS, indicating that the ancillary data payload holds file descriptors.
Method _isSendBufferFull Determine whether the user-space send buffer for this transport is full or not.
Instance Variable _fileDescriptorBufferSize An int giving the maximum number of file descriptors to accept and queue for sending before pausing the registered producer, if there is one.
Instance Variable _sendmsgQueue A list of int holding file descriptors which are currently buffered before being sent.
Instance Variable _writeSomeDataBase The class which provides the basic implementation of writeSomeData. Ultimately this should be a subclass of twisted.internet.abstract.FileDescriptor. Subclasses which mix in _SendmsgMixin must define this.

Inherited from BaseClient (via _SendmsgMixin):

Method createInternetSocket (internal) Create a non-blocking socket using self.addressFamily, self.socketType.
Method doConnect Initiate the outgoing connection attempt.
Instance Variable connected Undocumented
Instance Variable logstr Undocumented
Instance Variable protocol Undocumented
Method _collectSocketDetails Clean up references to the socket and its file descriptor.
Method _connectDone This is a hook for when a connection attempt has succeeded.
Method _stopReadingAndWriting Implement the POSIX-ish (i.e. twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet) method of detaching this socket from the reactor for _BaseBaseClient.
Instance Variable _base Connection, which is the base class of this class which has all of the useful file descriptor methods. This is used by _TLSServerMixin to call the right methods to directly manipulate the transport, as is necessary for writing TLS-encrypted bytes (whereas those methods on ...

Inherited from _BaseBaseClient (via _SendmsgMixin, BaseClient):

Method connectionLost Invoked by lower-level logic when it's time to clean the socket up. Depending on the state of the connection, either inform the attached Connector that the connection attempt has failed, or inform the connected ...
Method failIfNotConnected Generic method called when the attempts to connect failed. It basically cleans everything it can: call connectionFailed, stop read and write, delete socket related members.
Method resolveAddress Resolve the name that was passed to this _BaseBaseClient, if necessary, and then move on to attempting the connection once an address has been determined. (The connection will be attempted immediately within this function if either name resolution can be synchronous or the address was an IP address literal...
Method stopConnecting If a connection attempt is still outstanding (i.e. no connection is yet established), immediately stop attempting to connect.
Instance Variable addressFamily The address family constant (socket.AF_INET, socket.AF_INET6, socket.AF_UNIX) of the underlying socket of this client connection.
Instance Variable reactor The class pointed to by _commonConnection should set this attribute in its constructor.
Instance Variable socketType The socket type constant (socket.SOCK_STREAM or socket.SOCK_DGRAM) of the underlying socket.
Method _finishInit Called by subclasses to continue to the stage of initialization where the socket connect attempt is made.
Method _setRealAddress Set the resolved address of this _BaseBaseClient and initiate the connection attempt.
Class Variable _commonConnection Subclasses must provide this attribute, which indicates the Connection-alike class to invoke __init__ and connectionLost on.
Instance Variable _closeSocket Subclasses must implement in order to close the socket in response to a terminated connection attempt.
Instance Variable _requiresResolution A flag indicating whether the address of this client will require name resolution. True if the hostname of said address indicates a name that must be resolved by hostname lookup, False if it indicates an IP address literal.

Inherited from ClientMixin (via _SendmsgMixin, BaseClient, _BaseBaseClient):

Instance Variable _tlsClientDefault Always True, indicating that this is a client connection, and by default when TLS is negotiated this class will act as a TLS client.

Inherited from Connection (via _SendmsgMixin, BaseClient, _BaseBaseClient, ClientMixin):

Method getHandle Return the socket for this connection.
Method getTcpKeepAlive Return if SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled.
Method logPrefix Return the prefix to log with when I own the logging thread.
Method readConnectionLost Indicates read connection was lost.
Method setTcpKeepAlive Enable/disable SO_KEEPALIVE.
Instance Variable socket Undocumented
Method _closeWriteConnection Undocumented
Method _dataReceived Undocumented

Inherited from ConnectionMixin (via _SendmsgMixin, BaseClient, _BaseBaseClient, ClientMixin, Connection):

Method loseConnection Close this connection after writing all pending data.
Method registerProducer Register a producer.
Method startTLS No summary
Method unregisterProducer Unregister a producer.
Method write Write some bytes to this connection, passing them through a TLS layer if necessary, or discarding them if the connection has already been lost.
Method writeSequence Write some bytes to this connection, scatter/gather-style, passing them through a TLS layer if necessary, or discarding them if the connection has already been lost.
Constant TLS A flag indicating whether TLS is currently in use on this transport. This is not a good way for applications to check for TLS, instead use twisted.internet.interfaces.ISSLTransport.

Inherited from FileDescriptor (via _SendmsgMixin, BaseClient, _BaseBaseClient, ClientMixin, Connection, ConnectionMixin):

Method doWrite Called when data can be written.
Method fileno File Descriptor number for select().

Method pauseProducing Pause producing data.
Method resumeProducing Resume producing data.
Method startReading Start waiting for read availability.
Method startWriting Start waiting for write availability.
Method stopConsuming Stop consuming data.
Method stopProducing Stop producing data.

Method stopWriting Stop waiting for write availability.
Method writeConnectionLost Indicates write connection was lost.
Constant SEND_LIMIT Undocumented
Class Variable bufferSize Undocumented
Class Variable disconnecting Undocumented
Instance Variable dataBuffer Undocumented
Instance Variable disconnected Undocumented
Instance Variable offset Undocumented
Instance Variable producer Undocumented
Instance Variable producerPaused Undocumented
Method _maybePauseProducer Possibly pause a producer, if there is one and the send buffer is full.

Inherited from _ConsumerMixin (via _SendmsgMixin, BaseClient, _BaseBaseClient, ClientMixin, Connection, ConnectionMixin, FileDescriptor):

Instance Variable streamingProducer bool or int

Inherited from _LogOwner (via _SendmsgMixin, BaseClient, _BaseBaseClient, ClientMixin, Connection, ConnectionMixin, FileDescriptor, _ConsumerMixin):

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 (via _SendmsgMixin, BaseClient, _BaseBaseClient, ClientMixin, Connection, ConnectionMixin, FileDescriptor, _ConsumerMixin, _LogOwner):

Instance Variable _shouldShutdown Set to True if shutdown should be called before calling close on the underlying socket.

Inherited from _AbortingMixin (via _SendmsgMixin, BaseClient, _BaseBaseClient, ClientMixin, Connection, ConnectionMixin, FileDescriptor, _ConsumerMixin, _LogOwner, _SocketCloser):

Method abortConnection Aborts the connection immediately, dropping any buffered data.
Instance Variable _aborting Set to True when abortConnection is called.
def __init__(self, filename, connector, reactor=None, checkPID=0): (source)
Parameters
filenameUndocumented
connectorUndocumented
reactorAn IReactorFDSet provider which this descriptor will use to get readable and writeable event notifications. If no value is given, the global reactor will be used.
checkPIDUndocumented
def getHost(self): (source)

Similar to getPeer, but returns an address describing this side of the connection.

Returns
An IAddress provider.
def getPeer(self): (source)

Get the remote address of this connection.

Treat this method with caution. It is the unfortunate result of the CGI and Jabber standards, but should not be considered reliable for the usual host of reasons; port forwarding, proxying, firewalls, IP masquerading, etc.

Returns
An IAddress provider.
def getTcpNoDelay(self): (source)

FIXME:https://github.com/twisted/twisted/issues/12369

twisted.internet.unix.Client inherits from twisted.internet.tcp.Client which has this method implemented for TCP. For Unix socket, this is just a NOOP to avoid errors for the code that calls TCP specicific methods thinking that the Unix transport is a TCP transport.

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.
