189When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
190write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
191a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
192be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
193disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
194C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
195
196When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
197iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
198but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
199the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
200
201=item no_delay => <boolean>
202
203When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
204wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
205the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
206
207In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
208accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
209
210The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
211enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.

177 224
225Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
226the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
227the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
228is good in almost all cases.

1506
1507Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1508no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
1509as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1510
1511Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1512object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1513callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1514callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1515within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1516that case.
1517
1518The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1519data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1571
1572=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1573still get further invocations!
1574
1575That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1576read or write callbacks.
1577
1578It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1579from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1580->destroy >> method.
1581
1582=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1583reading?
1584
1585Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1586communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1587read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1588write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1589
1590This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1591callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1592is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1593
1594During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1595non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1596connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1597C<destroy> method.
1598
1599=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1600
1601If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1602to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1603clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1604will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1605
1606 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1607 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1608 $handle->on_error (sub {
1609 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1610 undef $handle;
1611 });
1612
1613The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1614and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1615fact, all data has been received.
1616
1617It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1618to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1619intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1620explicit QUIT command.
1621
1622=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1623all data has been written?
1624
1625After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1626and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1627C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1628written to the socket:
1629
1630 $handle->push_write (...);
1631 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1632 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1633 undef $handle;
1634 });
