172\&\fIBIO_s_connect()\fR returns the connect \s-1BIO\s0 method. This is a wrapper
173round the platform's \s-1TCP/IP\s0 socket connection routines.
174.PP
175Using connect BIOs, \s-1TCP/IP\s0 connections can be made and data
176transferred using only \s-1BIO\s0 routines. In this way any platform
177specific operations are hidden by the \s-1BIO\s0 abstraction.
178.PP
179Read and write operations on a connect \s-1BIO\s0 will perform I/O
180on the underlying connection. If no connection is established
181and the port and hostname (see below) is set up properly then
182a connection is established first.
183.PP
184Connect BIOs support \fIBIO_puts()\fR but not \fIBIO_gets()\fR.
185.PP
186If the close flag is set on a connect \s-1BIO\s0 then any active
187connection is shutdown and the socket closed when the \s-1BIO\s0
188is freed.
189.PP
190Calling \fIBIO_reset()\fR on a connect \s-1BIO\s0 will close any active
191connection and reset the \s-1BIO\s0 into a state where it can connect
192to the same host again.
193.PP
194\&\fIBIO_get_fd()\fR places the underlying socket in \fBc\fR if it is not \s-1NULL\s0,
195it also returns the socket . If \fBc\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 it should be of
196type (int *).
197.PP
198\&\fIBIO_set_conn_hostname()\fR uses the string \fBname\fR to set the hostname.
199The hostname can be an \s-1IP\s0 address. The hostname can also include the
200port in the form hostname:port . It is also acceptable to use the
201form \*(L"hostname/any/other/path\*(R" or \*(L"hostname:port/any/other/path\*(R".
202.PP
203\&\fIBIO_set_conn_port()\fR sets the port to \fBport\fR. \fBport\fR can be the
204numerical form or a string such as \*(L"http\*(R". A string will be looked
205up first using \fIgetservbyname()\fR on the host platform but if that
206fails a standard table of port names will be used. Currently the
207list is http, telnet, socks, https, ssl, ftp, gopher and wais.
208.PP
209\&\fIBIO_set_conn_ip()\fR sets the \s-1IP\s0 address to \fBip\fR using binary form,
210that is four bytes specifying the \s-1IP\s0 address in big-endian form.
211.PP
212\&\fIBIO_set_conn_int_port()\fR sets the port using \fBport\fR. \fBport\fR should
213be of type (int *).
214.PP
215\&\fIBIO_get_conn_hostname()\fR returns the hostname of the connect \s-1BIO\s0 or
216\&\s-1NULL\s0 if the \s-1BIO\s0 is initialized but no hostname is set.
217This return value is an internal pointer which should not be modified.
218.PP
219\&\fIBIO_get_conn_port()\fR returns the port as a string.
220.PP
221\&\fIBIO_get_conn_ip()\fR returns the \s-1IP\s0 address in binary form.
222.PP
223\&\fIBIO_get_conn_int_port()\fR returns the port as an int.
224.PP
225\&\fIBIO_set_nbio()\fR sets the non blocking I/O flag to \fBn\fR. If \fBn\fR is
226zero then blocking I/O is set. If \fBn\fR is 1 then non blocking I/O
227is set. Blocking I/O is the default. The call to \fIBIO_set_nbio()\fR
228should be made before the connection is established because
229non blocking I/O is set during the connect process.
230.PP
231\&\fIBIO_new_connect()\fR combines \fIBIO_new()\fR and \fIBIO_set_conn_hostname()\fR into
232a single call: that is it creates a new connect \s-1BIO\s0 with \fBname\fR.
233.PP
234\&\fIBIO_do_connect()\fR attempts to connect the supplied \s-1BIO\s0. It returns 1
235if the connection was established successfully. A zero or negative
236value is returned if the connection could not be established, the
237call \fIBIO_should_retry()\fR should be used for non blocking connect BIOs
238to determine if the call should be retried.
239.SH "NOTES"
240.IX Header "NOTES"
241If blocking I/O is set then a non positive return value from any
242I/O call is caused by an error condition, although a zero return
243will normally mean that the connection was closed.
244.PP
245If the port name is supplied as part of the host name then this will
246override any value set with \fIBIO_set_conn_port()\fR. This may be undesirable
247if the application does not wish to allow connection to arbitrary
248ports. This can be avoided by checking for the presence of the ':'
249character in the passed hostname and either indicating an error or
250truncating the string at that point.
251.PP
252The values returned by \fIBIO_get_conn_hostname()\fR, \fIBIO_get_conn_port()\fR,
253\&\fIBIO_get_conn_ip()\fR and \fIBIO_get_conn_int_port()\fR are updated when a
254connection attempt is made. Before any connection attempt the values
255returned are those set by the application itself.
256.PP
257Applications do not have to call \fIBIO_do_connect()\fR but may wish to do
258so to separate the connection process from other I/O processing.
259.PP
260If non blocking I/O is set then retries will be requested as appropriate.
261.PP
262It addition to \fIBIO_should_read()\fR and \fIBIO_should_write()\fR it is also
263possible for \fIBIO_should_io_special()\fR to be true during the initial
264connection process with the reason \s-1BIO_RR_CONNECT\s0. If this is returned
265then this is an indication that a connection attempt would block,
266the application should then take appropriate action to wait until
267the underlying socket has connected and retry the call.

161\&\fIBIO_s_connect()\fR returns the connect \s-1BIO\s0 method. This is a wrapper
162round the platform's \s-1TCP/IP\s0 socket connection routines.
163.PP
164Using connect BIOs, \s-1TCP/IP\s0 connections can be made and data
165transferred using only \s-1BIO\s0 routines. In this way any platform
166specific operations are hidden by the \s-1BIO\s0 abstraction.
167.PP
168Read and write operations on a connect \s-1BIO\s0 will perform I/O
169on the underlying connection. If no connection is established
170and the port and hostname (see below) is set up properly then
171a connection is established first.
172.PP
173Connect BIOs support \fIBIO_puts()\fR but not \fIBIO_gets()\fR.
174.PP
175If the close flag is set on a connect \s-1BIO\s0 then any active
176connection is shutdown and the socket closed when the \s-1BIO\s0
177is freed.
178.PP
179Calling \fIBIO_reset()\fR on a connect \s-1BIO\s0 will close any active
180connection and reset the \s-1BIO\s0 into a state where it can connect
181to the same host again.
182.PP
183\&\fIBIO_get_fd()\fR places the underlying socket in \fBc\fR if it is not \s-1NULL\s0,
184it also returns the socket . If \fBc\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 it should be of
185type (int *).
186.PP
187\&\fIBIO_set_conn_hostname()\fR uses the string \fBname\fR to set the hostname.
188The hostname can be an \s-1IP\s0 address. The hostname can also include the
189port in the form hostname:port . It is also acceptable to use the
190form \*(L"hostname/any/other/path\*(R" or \*(L"hostname:port/any/other/path\*(R".
191.PP
192\&\fIBIO_set_conn_port()\fR sets the port to \fBport\fR. \fBport\fR can be the
193numerical form or a string such as \*(L"http\*(R". A string will be looked
194up first using \fIgetservbyname()\fR on the host platform but if that
195fails a standard table of port names will be used. Currently the
196list is http, telnet, socks, https, ssl, ftp, gopher and wais.
197.PP
198\&\fIBIO_set_conn_ip()\fR sets the \s-1IP\s0 address to \fBip\fR using binary form,
199that is four bytes specifying the \s-1IP\s0 address in big-endian form.
200.PP
201\&\fIBIO_set_conn_int_port()\fR sets the port using \fBport\fR. \fBport\fR should
202be of type (int *).
203.PP
204\&\fIBIO_get_conn_hostname()\fR returns the hostname of the connect \s-1BIO\s0 or
205\&\s-1NULL\s0 if the \s-1BIO\s0 is initialized but no hostname is set.
206This return value is an internal pointer which should not be modified.
207.PP
208\&\fIBIO_get_conn_port()\fR returns the port as a string.
209.PP
210\&\fIBIO_get_conn_ip()\fR returns the \s-1IP\s0 address in binary form.
211.PP
212\&\fIBIO_get_conn_int_port()\fR returns the port as an int.
213.PP
214\&\fIBIO_set_nbio()\fR sets the non blocking I/O flag to \fBn\fR. If \fBn\fR is
215zero then blocking I/O is set. If \fBn\fR is 1 then non blocking I/O
216is set. Blocking I/O is the default. The call to \fIBIO_set_nbio()\fR
217should be made before the connection is established because
218non blocking I/O is set during the connect process.
219.PP
220\&\fIBIO_new_connect()\fR combines \fIBIO_new()\fR and \fIBIO_set_conn_hostname()\fR into
221a single call: that is it creates a new connect \s-1BIO\s0 with \fBname\fR.
222.PP
223\&\fIBIO_do_connect()\fR attempts to connect the supplied \s-1BIO\s0. It returns 1
224if the connection was established successfully. A zero or negative
225value is returned if the connection could not be established, the
226call \fIBIO_should_retry()\fR should be used for non blocking connect BIOs
227to determine if the call should be retried.
228.SH "NOTES"
229.IX Header "NOTES"
230If blocking I/O is set then a non positive return value from any
231I/O call is caused by an error condition, although a zero return
232will normally mean that the connection was closed.
233.PP
234If the port name is supplied as part of the host name then this will
235override any value set with \fIBIO_set_conn_port()\fR. This may be undesirable
236if the application does not wish to allow connection to arbitrary
237ports. This can be avoided by checking for the presence of the ':'
238character in the passed hostname and either indicating an error or
239truncating the string at that point.
240.PP
241The values returned by \fIBIO_get_conn_hostname()\fR, \fIBIO_get_conn_port()\fR,
242\&\fIBIO_get_conn_ip()\fR and \fIBIO_get_conn_int_port()\fR are updated when a
243connection attempt is made. Before any connection attempt the values
244returned are those set by the application itself.
245.PP
246Applications do not have to call \fIBIO_do_connect()\fR but may wish to do
247so to separate the connection process from other I/O processing.
248.PP
249If non blocking I/O is set then retries will be requested as appropriate.
250.PP
251It addition to \fIBIO_should_read()\fR and \fIBIO_should_write()\fR it is also
252possible for \fIBIO_should_io_special()\fR to be true during the initial
253connection process with the reason \s-1BIO_RR_CONNECT\s0. If this is returned
254then this is an indication that a connection attempt would block,
255the application should then take appropriate action to wait until
256the underlying socket has connected and retry the call.
