# RawSynchronousSocket class Null safety

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.

## Constructors

RawSynchronousSocket()

## Properties

address → InternetAddress
  The InternetAddress used to connect this socket.
  read-only
hashCode → int
  The hash code for this object. [...]
  read-only, inherited
port → int
  The port used by this socket.
  read-only
remoteAddress → InternetAddress
  The remote InternetAddress connected to by this socket.
  read-only
remotePort → int
  The remote port connected to by this socket.
  read-only
runtimeType → Type
  A representation of the runtime type of the object.
  read-only, inherited

## Methods

available() → int
  Returns 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 non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
  inherited
readIntoSync(List<int> buffer, [int start = 0, int? end]) → int
  Reads into an existing List<int> from the socket into the range: [`start`,`end`). [...]
readSync(int bytes) → List<int>?
  Reads up to `bytes` bytes from the socket. [...]
shutdown(SocketDirection direction) → void
  Shutdown a socket in the provided direction. [...]
toString() → String
  Returns a string representation of this object.
  inherited
writeFromSync(List<int> buffer, [int start = 0, int? end]) → void
  Writes data from a specified range in a List<int> 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. [...]
