btv.socket

socket:write(data)

Send raw bytes over the connection (a string, or a list of strings concatenated). A no-op once the connection has closed.

_{Defined in process.lua.}

socket:close()

Close the connection (its on_close still fires).

_{Defined in process.lua.}

btv.socket.connect(spec)

btv.socket.connect { host, port, on_connect, on_data, on_close } -> handle. Opens a TCP client connection and returns a handle with :write(data) and :close(). The callbacks fire on the editor thread: on_connect() once connected, on_data(chunk) per raw inbound batch, on_close(err) exactly once (err set on a connect/I-O failure).
