### I am a transport for bytes.

I represent (and wrap) the physical connection and synchronicity of the framework which is talking to the network. I make no representations about whether calls to me will happen immediately or require returning to a control loop, or whether they will happen in the same or another thread. Consider methods of this class (aside from getPeer) to be `thrown over the wall`, to happen at some indeterminate time.

getPeer loseConnection write
| getPeer

    getPeer ( self )

### Return a tuple of (TYPE, ...).

This indicates the other end of the connection. TYPE indicates what sort of connection this is: "INET", "UNIX", or something else. "INET" tuples have 2 additional elements; hostname and port.

Treat this method with caution. It is the unfortunate result of the CGI and Jabber standards, but should not be considered reliable for the usual host of reasons; port forwarding, proxying, firewalls, IP masquerading, etcetera.

| loseConnection

    loseConnection ( self )

Close my connection, after writing all pending data.

| write

    write ( self,  data )

### Write some data to the physical connection, in sequence.

If possible, make sure that it is all written. No data will ever be lost, although (obviously) the connection may be closed before it all gets through.
