setNoDelay
~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: cpp

    setNoDelay(nodelay)

With ``nodelay`` set to ``true``, this function will to disable `Nagle algorithm <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle%27s_algorithm>`__.

This algorithm is intended to reduce TCP/IP traffic of small packets sent over the network by combining a number of small outgoing messages, and sending them all at once. The downside of such approach is effectively delaying individual messages until a big enough packet is assembled.

*Example:*

.. code:: cpp

    client.setNoDelay(true);
