Socket.nodelay | LuaRT free and open source Windows programming framework for Lua

Socket.nodelay readwrite property

The Socket.nodelay property get/set the TCP_NODELAY option on the socket, to control Nagle algorithm.

When set to false Nagle algorithm is enabled, TCP will wait to send small amounts of data until the acknowledgment for the previous data is received.
When set to true Nagle algorithm is disabled (the default), TCP will send small amounts of data even before the acknowledgment for previous data sent is received.

Example


local net = require "net"

-- create and connect a client TCP socket to the host "google.com"
local socket = net.Socket("google.com", 80)

-- outputs false (the default Socket.nodelay value)
print("TCP_NODELAY = "..tostring(socket.nodelay))
