## Description

This is the subclass of GSocketConnection that is created for TCP/IP sockets.

## Details

### GTcpConnection

    typedef struct _GTcpConnection GTcpConnection;

A GSocketConnection for UNIX domain socket connections.

Since 2.22

### g_tcp_connection_set_graceful_disconnect ()

    void                g_tcp_connection_set_graceful_disconnect
                                                            (GTcpConnection *connection,
                                                             gboolean graceful_disconnect);

This enabled graceful disconnects on close. A graceful disconnect means that we signal the recieving end that the connection is terminated and wait for it to close the connection before closing the connection.

A graceful disconnect means that we can be sure that we successfully sent all the outstanding data to the other end, or get an error reported. However, it also means we have to wait for all the data to reach the other side and for it to acknowledge this by closing the socket, which may take a while. For this reason it is disabled by default.

`connection` : | a GTcpConnection
`graceful_disconnect` : | Whether to do graceful disconnects or not

Since 2.22

### g_tcp_connection_get_graceful_disconnect ()

    gboolean            g_tcp_connection_get_graceful_disconnect
                                                            (GTcpConnection *connection);

Checks if graceful disconnects are used. See `g_tcp_connection_set_graceful_disconnect()`.

`connection` : | a GTcpConnection
Returns : | `TRUE` if graceful disconnect is used on close, `FALSE` otherwise

Since 2.22

## Property Details

### The `"graceful-disconnect"` property

      "graceful-disconnect"      gboolean              : Read / Write

Whether or not close does a graceful disconnect.

Default value: FALSE
