64=head2 SIGPIPE is not handled by this module
65
66SIGPIPE is not handled by this module, so one of the practical
67requirements of using it is to ignore SIGPIPE (C<$SIG{PIPE} =
68'IGNORE'>). At least, this is highly recommend in a networked program: If
69you use AnyEvent::Handle in a filter program (like sort), exiting on
70SIGPIPE is probably the right thing to do.

96For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
97you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the eof
98callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
99down.

128 153
154This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
155into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
156of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
157memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
158the file when the write queue becomes empty.

193=item autocork => <boolean>
194
195When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
196write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
197a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
198be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
199disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
200C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
201
202When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
203iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
204but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
205the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
206
207=item no_delay => <boolean>
208
209When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
210wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
211the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
212
213In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
214accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
215
216The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
217enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.

170considered empty. 229considered empty.
171 230
231Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
232the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
233the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
234is good in almost all cases.
235
236=item linger => <seconds>
237
238If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
239AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
240write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
241socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
242system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
243
244This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
245yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
246help.

1524
1525=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1526
1527If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1528to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1529clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1530will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1531
1532 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1533 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1534 $handle->on_error (sub {
1535 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1536 undef $handle;
1537 });
1538
1539The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1540and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1541fact, all data has been received.
1542
1543It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transfering data,
1544to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1545intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1546explicit QUIT command.
1547
1548
1549=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1550all data has been written?
1551
1552After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1553and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1554C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1555written to the socket:
1556
1557 $handle->push_write (...);
1558 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1559 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1560 undef $handle;
1561 });
