+ \class QSocketNotifier
+ \brief The QSocketNotifier class provides support for monitoring
+ activity on a file descriptor.
+
+ \ingroup network
+ \ingroup io
+
+ The QSocketNotifier makes it possible to integrate Qt's event
+ loop with other event loops based on file descriptors. For
+ example, the \l{CORBA Framework} uses it to process CORBA
+ events. File descriptor action is detected in Qt's main event
+ loop (QCoreApplication::exec()).
+
+ \target write notifiers
+
+ Once you have opened a device using a low-level (usually
+ platform-specific) API, you can create a socket notifier to
+ monitor the file descriptor. The socket notifier is enabled by
+ default, i.e. it emits the activated() signal whenever a socket
+ event corresponding to its type occurs. Connect the activated()
+ signal to the slot you want to be called when an event
+ corresponding to your socket notifier's type occurs.
+
+ There are three types of socket notifiers: read, write, and
+ exception. The type is described by the \l Type enum, and must be
+ specified when constructing the socket notifier. After
+ construction it can be determined using the type() function. Note
+ that if you need to monitor both reads and writes for the same
+ file descriptor, you must create two socket notifiers. Note also
+ that it is not possible to install two socket notifiers of the
+ same type (\l Read, \l Write, \l Exception) on the same socket.
+
+ The setEnabled() function allows you to disable as well as enable
+ the socket notifier. It is generally advisable to explicitly
+ enable or disable the socket notifier, especially for write
+ notifiers. A disabled notifier ignores socket events (the same
+ effect as not creating the socket notifier). Use the isEnabled()
+ function to determine the notifier's current status.
+
+ Finally, you can use the socket() function to retrieve the
+ socket identifier. Although the class is called QSocketNotifier,
+ it is normally used for other types of devices than sockets.
+ QTcpSocket and QUdpSocket provide notification through signals, so
+ there is normally no need to use a QSocketNotifier on them.
+
+ \section1 Notes for Windows Users
+
+ The socket passed to QSocketNotifier will become non-blocking, even if
+ it was created as a blocking socket.
+ The activated() signal is sometimes triggered by high general activity
+ on the host, even if there is nothing to read. A subsequent read from
+ the socket can then fail, the error indicating that there is no data
+ available (e.g., \c{WSAEWOULDBLOCK}). This is an operating system
+ limitation, and not a bug in QSocketNotifier.
+
+ To ensure that the socket notifier handles read notifications correctly,
+ follow these steps when you receive a notification:
+
+ \list 1
+ \o Disable the notifier.
+ \o Read data from the socket.
+ \o Re-enable the notifier if you are interested in more data (such as after
+ having written a new command to a remote server).
+ \endlist
+
+ To ensure that the socket notifier handles write notifications correctly,
+ follow these steps when you receive a notification:
+
+ \list 1
+ \o Disable the notifier.
+ \o Write as much data as you can (before \c EWOULDBLOCK is returned).
+ \o Re-enable notifier if you have more data to write.
+ \endlist
+
+ \bold{Further information:}
+ On Windows, Qt always disables the notifier after getting a notification,
+ and only re-enables it if more data is expected. For example, if data is
+ read from the socket and it can be used to read more, or if reading or
+ writing is not possible because the socket would block, in which case
+ it is necessary to wait before attempting to read or write again.
