.TH CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY 3 "August 22, 2023" "ibcurl 8.3.0" libcurl
|
|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY \- the TCP_NODELAY option
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY, long nodelay);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a long specifying whether the \fITCP_NODELAY\fP option is to be set or
|
|
cleared (1L = set, 0 = clear). The option is set by default. This has no
|
|
effect after the connection has been established.
|
|
|
|
Setting this option to 1L disables TCP's Nagle algorithm on connections
|
|
created using this handle. The purpose of this algorithm is to try to minimize
|
|
the number of small packets on the network (where "small packets" means TCP
|
|
segments less than the Maximum Segment Size for the network).
|
|
|
|
Maximizing the amount of data sent per TCP segment is good because it
|
|
amortizes the overhead of the send. However, in some cases small segments may
|
|
need to be sent without delay. This is less efficient than sending larger
|
|
amounts of data at a time, and can contribute to congestion on the network if
|
|
overdone.
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
|
1
