== NAME
nng_tcp - TCP connection
== SYNOPSIS
[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
#include <nng/supplemental/tcp/tcp.h>
typedef struct nng_tcp_s nng_tcp;
----
== DESCRIPTION
An `nng_tcp` (((TCP connection))) represents a connected stream.
TCP stream objects can be used to send or receive data.
NOTE: The `nng_tcp` object is used for raw TCP connections, and
should not be confused with a pipe object created using the
<<nng_tcp.7#,nng_tcp(7)>> transport.
TIP: Most NNG applications should not use this, but instead use the
`<<nng_tcp.7#,nng_tcp>>` transport instead.
These objects are created either establishing an outgoing connection
with `<<nng_tcp_dialer_dial.3tcp#,nng_tcp_dialer_dial()>>` or by
accepting in incoming connection with
`<<nng_tcp_listener_accept.3tcp#,nng_tcp_listener_accept()>>`.
TCP connections are byte streams, and are "`reliable`" in that data
will not be delivered out of order, or with portions missing.
Data can be sent using `<<nng_tcp_send.3tcp#,nng_tcp_send()>>` or
received with `<<nng_tcp_recv.3tcp#,nng_tcp_recv()>>`.
When the connection is no longer needed, it should be freed with
`<<nng_tcp_free.3tcp#,nng_tcp_free()>>`.
TIP: It is possible to close the connection, without freeing it, by
using `<<nng_tcp_close.3tcp#,nng_tcp_close()>>`.
