- .TH CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY 3 "January 15, 2018" "libcurl 7.61.1" "curl_easy_setopt options"
- .SH NAME
- CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY \- set the TCP_NODELAY option
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- #include <curl/curl.h>
- CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY, long nodelay);
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- Pass a long specifying whether the TCP_NODELAY option is to be set or cleared
- (1L = set, 0 = clear). The option is set by default. This will have no effect
- after the connection has been established.
- Setting this option to 1L will disable TCP's Nagle algorithm on this
- connection. 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 (MSS) 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
- .SH PROTOCOLS
- All
- .SH EXAMPLE
- .nf
- CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
- if(curl) {
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
- /* disable Nagle */
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY, 0);
- curl_easy_perform(curl);
- }
- .fi
- .SH AVAILABILITY
- Always. The default was changed to 1 from 0 in 7.50.2.
- .SH RETURN VALUE
- Returns CURLE_OK
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
- .BR CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION "(3), " CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE "(3), "
