.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long specifying whether the TCP_NODELAY option is to be set or cleared
-(1 = set, 0 = clear). The option is set by default. This will have no effect
+(1L = set, 0 = clear). The option is set by default. This will have no effect
after the connection has been established.
-Setting this option will disable TCP's Nagle algorithm. The purpose of this
-algorithm is to try to minimize the number of small packets on the network
-(where "small packets" means TCP segments less than the Maximum Segment Size
-(MSS) for the network).

Maximizing the amount of data sent per TCP segment is good because it
amortizes the overhead of the send. However, in some cases small segments may
