Option descriptions
-------------------
None of the options are required.
-The default value is given next to the option name.
+Please consult the `gen_tcp` and `inet` manuals for a more
+thorough description of these options. This manual only aims
+to provide a short description along with what the defaults
+are. Defaults may be different in Ranch compared to `gen_tcp`.
+Defaults are given next to the option name.
- backlog (1024)
- Max length of the queue of pending connections.
+ - buffer
+ - Size of the buffer used by the Erlang driver. Default is system-dependent.
+ - delay_send (false)
+ - Always queue packets before sending, to send fewer, larger packets over the network.
+ - dontroute (false)
+ - Don't send via a gateway, only send to directly connected hosts.
+ - exit_on_close (true)
+ - Disable to allow sending data after a close has been detected.
+ - fd
+ - File descriptor of the socket, if it was opened externally.
+ - high_msgq_watermark (8192)
+ - Limit in the amount of data in the socket message queue before the socket queue becomes busy.
+ - high_watermark (8192)
+ - Limit in the amount of data in the ERTS socket implementation's queue before the socket becomes busy.
+ - inet
+ - Set up the socket for IPv4.
+ - inet6
+ - Set up the socket for IPv6.
- ip
- Interface to listen on. Listen on all interfaces by default.
+ - keepalive (false)
+ - Enable sending of keep-alive messages.
- linger ({false, 0})
- Whether to wait and how long to flush data sent before closing the socket.
+ - low_msgq_watermark (4096)
+ - Amount of data in the socket message queue before the socket queue leaves busy state.
+ - low_watermark (4096)
+ - Amount of data in the ERTS socket implementation's queue before the socket leaves busy state.
- nodelay (true)
- Whether to enable TCP_NODELAY.
- port (0)
- TCP port number to listen on. 0 means a random port will be used.
+ - priority (0)
+ - Priority value for all packets to be sent by this socket.
+ - recbuf
+ - Minimum size of the socket's receive buffer. Default is system-dependent.
- send_timeout (30000)
- How long the send call may wait for confirmation before returning.
- send_timeout_close (true)
- Whether to close the socket when the confirmation wasn't received.
+ - sndbuf
+ - Minimum size of the socket's send buffer. Default is system-dependent.
+ - tos
+ - Value for the IP_TOS IP level option. Use with caution.
-The `raw` option is unsupported.
+In addition, the `raw` option can be used to set system-specific
+options by specifying the protocol level, the option number and
+the actual option value specified as a binary. This option is not
+portable. Use with caution.
