abstract fun close(): Unit

Close the client.

Any sockets which have not been closed manually will be closed here. The close is asynchronous and may not complete until some time after the method has returned.

connect

abstract fun connect(port: Int, host: String, connectHandler: Handler<AsyncResult<NetSocket>>): NetClient
abstract fun connect(port: Int, host: String, serverName: String, connectHandler: Handler<AsyncResult<NetSocket>>): NetClient

Open a connection to a server at the specific port and host.

host can be a valid host name or IP address. The connect is done asynchronously and on success, a NetSocket instance is supplied via the connectHandler instance

abstract fun connect(remoteAddress: SocketAddress, connectHandler: Handler<AsyncResult<NetSocket>>): NetClient
abstract fun connect(remoteAddress: SocketAddress, serverName: String, connectHandler: Handler<AsyncResult<NetSocket>>): NetClient

Open a connection to a server at the specific remoteAddress.

The connect is done asynchronously and on success, a NetSocket instance is supplied via the connectHandler instance
