Data structures
Data structures are used to pass complex data around. Create data structures in Lua in the form of a map, e.g.: {line_size=3, add_to_legend=false, selectable=true}
transport_hints

Description
|
|
| Fields |
transports (table of string, default: {}): the list of
transports to use. allowed values are 'reliable', 'unreliable', 'tcp',
'udp' (the last two being synonyms of the first two respectively).
transports appearing earlier in the list have higher priority. e.g.:
{'unreliable','reliable'} specifies that you would prefer an unreliable
transport, followed by a reliable one.
tcpNoDelay (bool, default: false):
maxDatagramSize (int, default: 0):
