# RawSynchronousSocket class abstract interface

A low-level class for communicating synchronously over a TCP socket.

Warning: RawSynchronousSocket should probably only be used to connect to 'localhost'. The operations below will block the calling thread to wait for a response from the network. The thread can process no other events while waiting for these operations to complete. RawSynchronousSocket is not suitable for applications that require high performance or asynchronous I/O such as a server. Instead such applications should use the non-blocking sockets and asynchronous operations in the Socket or RawSocket classes.

## Properties

address → InternetAddress
  The InternetAddress used to connect this socket.
  no setter
hashCode → int
  The hash code for this object.
  no setter inherited
port → int
  The port used by this socket.
  no setter
remoteAddress → InternetAddress
  The remote InternetAddress connected to by this socket.
  no setter
remotePort → int
  The remote port connected to by this socket.
  no setter
runtimeType → Type
  A representation of the runtime type of the object.
  no setter inherited

## Methods

available() → int
  The number of received and unread bytes in the socket that can be read.
closeSync() → void
  Closes the RawSynchronousSocket.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
  Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
  inherited
readIntoSync(List<int> buffer, [int start = 0, int? end]) → int
  Reads bytes into an existing `buffer`.
readSync(int bytes) → List<int>?
  Reads up to `bytes` bytes from the socket.
shutdown(SocketDirection direction) → void
  Shuts down a socket in the provided direction.
toString() → String
  A string representation of this object.
  inherited
writeFromSync(List<int> buffer, [int start = 0, int? end]) → void
  Writes from a `buffer` to the socket.

## Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool
  The equality operator.
  inherited

## Static Methods

connectSync(dynamic host, int port) → RawSynchronousSocket
  Creates a new socket connection and returns a RawSynchronousSocket.
