<p>TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable,
stream-oriented, connection-oriented transport protocol. It is
especially well suited for continuous transmission of data.</p>
<p>QTcpSocket is a convenience subclass of <a href="qabstractsocket.html">QAbstractSocket</a> that allows you to
establish a TCP connection and transfer streams of data. See the
<a href="qabstractsocket.html">QAbstractSocket</a> documentation
for details.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> TCP sockets cannot be opened in <a href="qiodevice.html#OpenModeFlag-enum">QIODevice.Unbuffered</a>
mode.</p>

<h3>Symbian Platform Security Requirements</h3>
<p>On Symbian, processes which use this class must have the
<tt>NetworkServices</tt> platform security capability. If the
client process lacks this capability, it will result in a
panic.</p>
<p>Platform security capabilities are added via the <a href="qmake-variable-reference.html#target-capability">TARGET.CAPABILITY</a>
qmake variable.</p>
