The QTcpSocket class provides a TCP socket.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable, stream-oriented, connection-oriented transport protocol. It is especially well suited for continuous transmission of data.
QTcpSocket is a convenience subclass of QAbstractSocket that allows you to establish a TCP connection and transfer streams of data. See the QAbstractSocket documentation for details.
Note: TCP sockets cannot be opened in QIODevice::Unbuffered mode.
On Symbian, processes which use this class must have the NetworkServices platform security capability. If the client process lacks this capability, it will result in a panic.
Platform security capabilities are added via the TARGET.CAPABILITY qmake variable.
