NAME

6       socket_connect4 - attempt to make a TCP connection

SYNTAX

9       #include <socket.h>
10
11       int socket_connect4(int s,const char ip[4],uint16 port);

DESCRIPTION

14       socket_connect4  attempts to make a connection from TCP socket s to TCP
15       port port on IP address ip.
16
17       socket_connect4 may return
18
19
20       ·      0, to indicate that  the  connection  succeeded  (and  succeeded
21              immediately, if the socket is non-blocking)
22
23       ·      -1,  setting  errno  to error_inprogress or error_wouldblock, to
24              indicate that the socket is non-blocking
25
26       ·      -1, setting errno to something else, to indicate that  the  con‐
27              nection  failed  (and  failed immediately, if the socket is non-
28              blocking).
29
30       When a background connection succeeds or fails, s becomes writable; you
31       can  use  socket_connected to see whether the connection succeeded.  If
32       the connection failed, socket_connected returns 0, setting errno appro‐
33       priately.
34
35       Once  a  TCP socket is connected, you can use the read and write system
36       calls to transmit data.
37
38       You can call socket_connect4 without calling  socket_bind4.   This  has
39       the  effect  as  first calling socket_bind4 with IP address 0.0.0.0 and
40       port 0.

EXAMPLE

44         #include <socket.h>
45
46         int s;
47         char ip[4];
48         uint16 p;
49
50         s = socket_tcp4();
51         socket_bind4(s,ip,p);
52         socket_connect4(s,ip,p);
