TCP_CONNECT(3) libdill Library Functions TCP_CONNECT(3) NAME tcp_connect - creates a connection to remote TCP endpoint SYNOPSIS #include <libdill.h> int tcp_connect( const struct ipaddr* addr, int64_t deadline); DESCRIPTION TCP protocol is a reliable bytestream protocol for transporting data over network. It is defined in RFC 793. This function creates a connection to a remote TCP endpoint. addr: IP address to connect to. deadline: A point in time when the operation should time out, in millisec- onds. Use the now function to get your current point in time. 0 means im- mediate timeout, i.e., perform the operation if possible or return without blocking if not. -1 means no deadline, i.e., the call will block forever if the operation cannot be performed. The socket can be cleanly shut down using tcp_close function. This function is not available if libdill is compiled with --disable-sock- ets option. RETURN VALUE In case of success the function returns newly created socket handle. In case of error it returns -1 and sets errno to one of the values below. ERRORS * ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled. * ECONNREFUSED: The target address was not listening for connections or re- fused the connection request. * ECONNRESET: Remote host reset the connection request. * EHOSTUNREACH: The destination host cannot be reached. * EINVAL: Invalid argument. * EMFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the process are already open. * ENETDOWN: The local network interface used to reach the destination is down. * ENETUNREACH: No route to the network is present. * ENFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the system are already open. * ENOMEM: Not enough memory. * ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached. EXAMPLE struct ipaddr addr; ipaddr_remote(&addr, "www.example.org", 80, 0, -1); int s = tcp_connect(&addr, -1); bsend(s, "ABC", 3, -1); char buf[3]; brecv(s, buf, sizeof(buf), -1); tcp_close(s); SEE ALSO brecv(3) brecvl(3) bsend(3) bsendl(3) hclose(3) now(3) tcp_accept(3) tcp_accept_mem(3) tcp_close(3) tcp_connect_mem(3) tcp_done(3) tcp_fromfd(3) tcp_fromfd_mem(3) tcp_listen(3) tcp_listen_mem(3) tcp_listener_fromfd(3) tcp_listener_fromfd_mem(3) libdill TCP_CONNECT(3)
