Detailed Description

The QTcpSocket class provides a TCP socket.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable, stream-oriented, connection-oriented transport protocol. It is especially well suited for continuous transmission of data.

QTcpSocket is a convenience subclass of QAbstractSocket that allows you to establish a TCP connection and transfer streams of data. See the QAbstractSocket documentation for details.

The Fortune Server, Fortune Client, Threaded Fortune Server, and Blocking Fortune Client examples illustrate how to use QTcpSocket in applications.

See also QTcpServer, QUdpSocket, QFtp, and QHttp.
