socket_connect4(3)	    Library Functions Manual	      socket_connect4(3)

NAME
     socket_connect4 - attempt to make a TCP connection

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/socket.h>

     int socket_connect4(int s,const char ip[4],uint16 port);

DESCRIPTION
     socket_connect4 attempts to make a connection from TCP socket s to TCP port
     port on IP address ip.

     socket_connect4 may return

     *	    0,	to indicate that the connection succeeded (and succeeded immedi-
	    ately, if the socket is non-blocking)

     *	    -1, setting errno to error_inprogress or error_wouldblock, to  indi-
	    cate that the socket is non-blocking

     *	    -1, setting errno to something else, to indicate that the connection
	    failed (and failed immediately, if the socket is non-blocking).

     When a background connection succeeds or fails, s becomes writable; you can
     use  socket_connected to see whether the connection succeeded.  If the con-
     nection failed, socket_connected returns 0, setting errno appropriately.

     Once a TCP socket is connected, you can use the read and write system calls
     to transmit data.

     You can call socket_connect4 without calling socket_bind4.   This	has  the
     effect as first calling socket_bind4 with IP address 0.0.0.0 and port 0.

EXAMPLE
       #include <libowfat/socket.h>

       int s;
       char ip[4];
       uint16 p;

       s = socket_tcp4();
       socket_bind4(s,ip,p);
       socket_connect4(s,ip,p);
