provides the base functionality common to all socket types.</p>
<p>QAbstractSocket is the base class for <a href="qtcpsocket.html">QTcpSocket</a> and <a href="qudpsocket.html">QUdpSocket</a> and contains all common functionality of these two classes. If you need a socket, you have two options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Instantiate <a href="qtcpsocket.html">QTcpSocket</a> or <a href="qudpsocket.html">QUdpSocket</a>.</li>
<li>Create a native socket descriptor, instantiate QAbstractSocket, and call <a href="qabstractsocket.html#setSocketDescriptor">setSocketDescriptor</a>() to wrap the native socket.</li>
</ul>
<p>TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable, stream-oriented, connection-oriented transport protocol. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is an unreliable, datagram-oriented, connectionless protocol. In practice, this means that TCP is better suited for continuous transmission of data, whereas the more lightweight UDP can be used when reliability isn't important.</p>
<p>QAbstractSocket's API unifies most of the differences between the two protocols. For example, although UDP is connectionless, <a href="qabstractsocket.html#connectToHost">connectToHost</a>() establishes a virtual connection for UDP sockets, enabling you to use QAbstractSocket in more or less the same way regardless of the underlying protocol. Internally, QAbstractSocket remembers the address and port passed to <a href="qabstractsocket.html#connectToHost">connectToHost</a>(), and functions like <a href="qiodevice.html#read">read</a>() and <a href="qiodevice.html#write">write</a>() use these values.</p>
<p>At any time, QAbstractSocket has a state (returned by <a href="qabstractsocket.html#state">state</a>()). The initial state is <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">QAbstractSocket.UnconnectedState</a>. After calling <a href="qabstractsocket.html#connectToHost">connectToHost</a>(), the socket first enters <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">QAbstractSocket.HostLookupState</a>. If the host is found, QAbstractSocket enters <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">QAbstractSocket.ConnectingState</a> and emits the <a href="qabstractsocket.html#hostFound">hostFound</a>() signal. When the connection has been established, it enters <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">QAbstractSocket.ConnectedState</a> and emits <a href="qabstractsocket.html#connected">connected</a>(). If an error occurs at any stage, <a href="qabstractsocket.html#error">error</a>() is emitted. Whenever the state changes, <a href="qabstractsocket.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>() is emitted. For convenience, <a href="qabstractsocket.html#isValid">isValid</a>() returns true if the socket is ready for reading and writing.</p>
<p>Read or write data by calling <a href="qiodevice.html#read">read</a>() or <a href="qiodevice.html#write">write</a>(), or use the convenience functions <a href="qiodevice.html#readLine">readLine</a>() and <a href="qiodevice.html#readAll">readAll</a>(). QAbstractSocket also inherits <a href="qiodevice.html#getChar">getChar</a>(), <a href="qiodevice.html#putChar">putChar</a>(), and <a href="qiodevice.html#ungetChar">ungetChar</a>() from <a href="qiodevice.html">QIODevice</a>, which work on single bytes. For every chunk of data that has been written to the socket, the <a href="qiodevice.html#bytesWritten">bytesWritten</a>() signal is emitted.</p>
<p>The <a href="qiodevice.html#readyRead">readyRead</a>() signal is emitted every time a new chunk of data has arrived. <a href="qabstractsocket.html#bytesAvailable">bytesAvailable</a>() then returns the number of bytes that are available for reading. Typically, you would connect the <a href="qiodevice.html#readyRead">readyRead</a>() signal to a slot and read all available data there. If you don't read all the data at once, the remaining data will still be available later, and any new incoming data will be appended to QAbstractSocket's internal read buffer. To limit the size of the read buffer, call <a href="qabstractsocket.html#setReadBufferSize">setReadBufferSize</a>().</p>
<p>To close the socket, call <a href="qabstractsocket.html#disconnectFromHost">disconnectFromHost</a>(). QAbstractSocket enters <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">QAbstractSocket.ClosingState</a>, then emits closing(). After all pending data has been written to the socket, QAbstractSocket actually closes the socket, enters QAbstractSocket.ClosedState, and emits <a href="qabstractsocket.html#disconnected">disconnected</a>(). If you want to abort a connection immediately, discarding all pending data, call <a href="qabstractsocket.html#abort">abort</a>() instead.</p>
<p>The port and address of the connected peer is fetched by calling <a href="qabstractsocket.html#peerPort">peerPort</a>() and <a href="qabstractsocket.html#peerAddress">peerAddress</a>(). <a href="qabstractsocket.html#peerName">peerName</a>() returns the host name of the peer, as passed to <a href="qabstractsocket.html#connectToHost">connectToHost</a>(). <a href="qabstractsocket.html#localPort">localPort</a>() and <a href="qabstractsocket.html#localAddress">localAddress</a>() return the port and address of the local socket.</p>
<p>QAbstractSocket provides a set of functions that suspend the calling thread until certain signals are emitted. These functions can be used to implement blocking sockets:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qabstractsocket.html#waitForConnected">waitForConnected</a>() blocks until a connection has been established.</li>
<li><a href="qiodevice.html#waitForReadyRead">waitForReadyRead</a>() blocks until new data is available for reading.</li>
<li><a href="qiodevice.html#waitForBytesWritten">waitForBytesWritten</a>() blocks until one payload of data has been written to the socket.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractsocket.html#waitForDisconnected">waitForDisconnected</a>() blocks until the connection has closed.</li>
</ul>
<p>Programming with a blocking socket is radically different from programming with a non-blocking socket. A blocking socket doesn't require an event loop and typically leads to simpler code. However, in a GUI application, blocking sockets should only be used in non-GUI threads, to avoid freezing the user interface. See the <a href="network-fortuneclient.html">network/fortuneclient</a> and <a href="network-blockingfortuneclient.html">network/blockingfortuneclient</a> examples for an overview of both approaches.</p>
<p>QAbstractSocket can be used with <a href="qtextstream.html">QTextStream</a> and <a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a>'s stream operators (operator<<() and operator>>()). There is one issue to be aware of, though: You must make sure that enough data is available before attempting to read it using operator>>().</p>

<p>If the buffer size is limited to a certain size, <a href="qabstractsocket.html">QAbstractSocket</a> won't buffer more than this size of data. Exceptionally, a buffer size of 0 means that the read buffer is unlimited and all incoming data is buffered. This is the default.</p>
<p>This option is useful if you only read the data at certain points in time (e.g., in a real-time streaming application) or if you want to protect your socket against receiving too much data, which may eventually cause your application to run out of memory.</p>
