active (property)

Enables or disables sending and receiving of data.

Syntax

• Objective-C
• Swift

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=active,setter=setActive:) BOOL active;
- (BOOL)active;
- (void)setActive:(BOOL)newActive;

public var active: Bool {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

Setting this property to True makes the class create a communication endpoint (socket) which can be used for sending and receiving ICMP messages. Setting it to False destroys the socket and disables data communications.

If the UseConnection config setting is set to True, then a local association (connection) to the remote host is also created.
