# RawSocket class abstract interface

A TCP connection.

A socket connection connects a local socket to a remote socket. Data, as Uint8Lists, is received by the local socket and made available by the read method, and can be sent to the remote socket through the write method.

The Stream interface of this class provides event notification about when a certain change has happened, for example when data has become available (RawSocketEvent.read) or when the remote end has stopped listening (RawSocketEvent.closed).

Implemented types
  - Stream<RawSocketEvent>
Implementers
  - RawSecureSocket

## Properties

address → InternetAddress
  The InternetAddress used to connect this socket.
  no setter
first → Future<RawSocketEvent>
  The first element of this stream.
  no setter inherited
hashCode → int
  The hash code for this object.
  no setter inherited
isBroadcast → bool
  Whether this stream is a broadcast stream.
  no setter inherited
isEmpty → Future<bool>
  Whether this stream contains any elements.
  no setter inherited
last → Future<RawSocketEvent>
  The last element of this stream.
  no setter inherited
length → Future<int>
  The number of elements in this stream.
  no setter inherited
port → int
  The port used by this socket.
  no setter
readEventsEnabled ↔ bool
  Set or get, if the RawSocket should listen for RawSocketEvent.read and RawSocketEvent.readClosed events. Default is `true`.
  getter/setter pair
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
single → Future<RawSocketEvent>
  The single element of this stream.
  no setter inherited
writeEventsEnabled ↔ bool
  Set or get, if the RawSocket should listen for RawSocketEvent.write events. Default is `true`. This is a one-shot listener, and writeEventsEnabled must be set to true again to receive another write event.
