104
105It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
106properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
107
108When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
109C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
110appropriate circumstances:
111
112=over 4
113
114=item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
115
116This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
117attempted, but after the file handle has been created. It could be used to
118prepare the file handle with parameters required for the actual connect
119(as opposed to settings that can be changed when the connection is already
120established).
121
122The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
123seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate that the
124default timeout is to be used).
125
126=item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
127
128This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
129
130The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
131parameters, together with a retry callback.
132
133If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$retry>
134will continue with the next connection target (in case of multi-homed
135hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection endpoints). At the
136time it is called the read and write queues, eof status, tls status and
137similar properties of the handle will have been reset.
138
139In most cases, you should ignore the C<$retry> parameter.
140
141=item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
142
143This callback is called when the connection could not be
144established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
145message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
146
147If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
148fatal error instead.
149
150=back
151
152=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
153
154This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
155occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
156connect, or a read error.
157
158Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
159fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
160destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
161examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
162with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
163cases where the other side can close the connection at will, it is
164often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
165
166AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
167against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
168recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
169error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
170
171Non-fatal errors can be retried by returning, but it is recommended
172to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
173when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
174C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
175
176On entry to the callback, the value of C<$!> contains the operating
177system error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
178C<EPROTO>).
179
180While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
181you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default just calls
182C<croak>.
183
184=item on_read => $cb->($handle)
185
186This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
187and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
188callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
189read buffer).
190
191To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
192method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
193must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
194the beginning from it.
195
196You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
197modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
198
199When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
200feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
201calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
202error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
203
204Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
205doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
206are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
207C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.

251of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
252C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks

308=item keepalive => <boolean>
309
310Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
311normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
312connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
313side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
314TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
315is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
316and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
317to 15 minutes later.
318
319It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
320keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
321is usually a good idea.
322
323=item oobinline => <boolean>
324
325BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
326is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
327implements it slightly differently.
328
329If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
330is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
331putting it into the stream.
332
333Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
334security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
335unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
336establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
337already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
338from most attacks.

2063Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
