NAME
nng_dialer_start - start dialer
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The nng_dialer_start() function starts the dialer d.
This causes the dialer to start connecting to the address with which it was created.
When a connection is established, it results in a pipe being created, which will be attached to the dialer’s socket.
Normally, the first attempt to connect to the dialer’s address is done synchronously, including any necessary name resolution. As a result, a failure, such as if the connection is refused, will be returned immediately, and no further action will be taken.
However, if the special value NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK is
supplied in flags, then the connection attempt is made asynchronously.
Furthermore, if the connection was closed for a synchronously dialed connection, the dialer will still attempt to redial asynchronously.
While NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK can help an application be more resilient,
it also generally makes diagnosing failures somewhat more difficult.
|
Once a dialer has started, it is generally not possible to change its configuration.
RETURN VALUES
This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
