Definition
property LineMode: boolean;
Description
If set to true, LineMode enables automatic splitting of received data into packets based on a user definable char sequence.
Example
If the client always sends data lines terminated with CR/LF and the server shall display the lines individually in a memo, the server would set LineMode to true so the caller always receives whole lines without needing to look for the end of a line.
<syntaxhighlight lang="delphi">
Socket.LineLimit:=100; // prevent denial of service or buffer
// overflows
Socket.LineEnd:=chr(10) + chr(13); // the sender has to terminate all
// messages sent with this character
// combination
Socket.LineMode:=true;
</syntaxhighlight>
In OnDataAvailable ReceiveStr is used to fetch the available data packet by packet.
Best practices
Always set LineLimit to prevent buffer overflows.
