88For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
89you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF

146This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
147into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
148of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
149memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
150the file when the write queue becomes empty.

186
187When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
188write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
189a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
190be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
191disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
192C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
193
194When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
195iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
196but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
197the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
198
199=item no_delay => <boolean>
200
201When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
202wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
203the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
204
205In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
206accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
207
208The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
209enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.

171 222
223Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
224the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
225the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
226is good in almost all cases.

1485
1486Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1487no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
1488as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1489
1490Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1491object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1492callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1493callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1494within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1495that case.
1496
1497The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1498data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1550
1551=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1552still get further invocations!
1553
1554That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1555read or write callbacks.
1556
1557It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1558from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1559->destroy >> method.
1560
1561=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1562reading?
1563
1564Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1565communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1566read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1567write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1568
1569This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1570callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1571is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1572
1573During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1574non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1575connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1576C<destroy> method.
1577
1578=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1579
1580If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1581to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1582clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1583will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1584
1585 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1586 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1587 $handle->on_error (sub {
1588 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1589 undef $handle;
1590 });
1591
1592The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1593and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1594fact, all data has been received.
1595
1596It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1597to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1598intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1599explicit QUIT command.
1600
1601=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1602all data has been written?
1603
1604After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1605and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1606C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1607written to the socket:
1608
1609 $handle->push_write (...);
1610 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1611 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1612 undef $handle;
1613 });
