.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBIO_s_connect()\fR returns the connect BIO method. This is a wrapper
round the platform's TCP/IP socket connection routines.
.PP
Using connect BIOs, TCP/IP connections can be made and data
transferred using only BIO routines. In this way any platform
specific operations are hidden by the BIO abstraction.
.PP
Read and write operations on a connect BIO will perform I/O
on the underlying connection. If no connection is established
and the port and hostname (see below) is set up properly then
a connection is established first.
.PP
Connect BIOs support \fBBIO_puts()\fR and \fBBIO_gets()\fR.
.PP
If the close flag is set on a connect BIO then any active
connection is shutdown and the socket closed when the BIO
is freed.
.PP
Calling \fBBIO_reset()\fR on a connect BIO will close any active
connection and reset the BIO into a state where it can connect
to the same host again.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_new_connect()\fR combines \fBBIO_new()\fR and \fBBIO_set_conn_hostname()\fR into
a single call: that is it creates a new connect BIO with hostname \fBname\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_conn_hostname()\fR uses the string \fBname\fR to set the hostname.
The hostname can be an IP address; if the address is an IPv6 one, it
must be enclosed in brackets \f(CW\*(C`[\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`]\*(C'\fR.
The hostname can also include the port in the form hostname:port;
see \fBBIO_parse_hostserv\fR\|(3) and \fBBIO_set_conn_port()\fR for details.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_conn_port()\fR sets the port to \fBport\fR. \fBport\fR can be the
numerical form or a service string such as "http", which
will be mapped to a port number using the system function \fBgetservbyname()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_conn_address()\fR sets the address and port information using
a \fBBIO_ADDR\fR\|(3ssl).
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_conn_ip_family()\fR sets the IP family.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_conn_hostname()\fR returns the hostname of the connect BIO or
NULL if the BIO is initialized but no hostname is set.
This return value is an internal pointer which should not be modified.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_conn_port()\fR returns the port as a string.
This return value is an internal pointer which should not be modified.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_conn_address()\fR returns the address information as a BIO_ADDR.
This return value is an internal pointer which should not be modified.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_conn_ip_family()\fR returns the IP family of the connect BIO.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_nbio()\fR sets the non blocking I/O flag to \fBn\fR. If \fBn\fR is
zero then blocking I/O is set. If \fBn\fR is 1 then non blocking I/O
is set. Blocking I/O is the default. The call to \fBBIO_set_nbio()\fR
should be made before the connection is established because
non blocking I/O is set during the connect process.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_do_connect()\fR attempts to connect the supplied BIO.
This performs an SSL/TLS handshake as far as supported by the BIO.
For non-SSL BIOs the connection is done typically at TCP level.
If domain name resolution yields multiple IP addresses all of them are tried
after \fBconnect()\fR failures.
The function returns 1 if the connection was established successfully.
A zero or negative value is returned if the connection could not be established.
The call \fBBIO_should_retry()\fR should be used for non blocking connect BIOs
to determine if the call should be retried.
If a connection has already been established this call has no effect.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_sock_type()\fR can be used to set a socket type value as would be passed in
a call to \fBsocket\fR\|(2). The only currently supported values are \fBSOCK_STREAM\fR (the
default) and \fBSOCK_DGRAM\fR. If \fBSOCK_DGRAM\fR is configured, the connection
created is a UDP datagram socket handled via \fBBIO_s_datagram\fR\|(3).
I/O calls such as \fBBIO_read\fR\|(3) and \fBBIO_write\fR\|(3) are forwarded transparently
to an internal \fBBIO_s_datagram\fR\|(3) instance. The created \fBBIO_s_datagram\fR\|(3)
instance can be retrieved using \fBBIO_get0_dgram_bio()\fR if desired, which writes
a pointer to the \fBBIO_s_datagram\fR\|(3) instance to \fI*dgram_bio\fR. The lifetime
of the internal \fBBIO_s_datagram\fR\|(3) is managed by \fBBIO_s_connect()\fR and does not
need to be freed by the caller.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_sock_type()\fR retrieves the value set using \fBBIO_set_sock_type()\fR.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
If blocking I/O is set then a non positive return value from any
I/O call is caused by an error condition, although a zero return
will normally mean that the connection was closed.
.PP
If the port name is supplied as part of the hostname then this will
override any value set with \fBBIO_set_conn_port()\fR. This may be undesirable
if the application does not wish to allow connection to arbitrary
ports. This can be avoided by checking for the presence of the ':'
character in the passed hostname and either indicating an error or
truncating the string at that point.
.PP
The values returned by \fBBIO_get_conn_hostname()\fR, \fBBIO_get_conn_address()\fR,
and \fBBIO_get_conn_port()\fR are updated when a connection attempt is made.
Before any connection attempt the values returned are those set by the
application itself.
.PP
Applications do not have to call \fBBIO_do_connect()\fR but may wish to do
so to separate the connection process from other I/O processing.
.PP
If non blocking I/O is set then retries will be requested as appropriate.
.PP
It addition to \fBBIO_should_read()\fR and \fBBIO_should_write()\fR it is also
possible for \fBBIO_should_io_special()\fR to be true during the initial
connection process with the reason BIO_RR_CONNECT. If this is returned
then this is an indication that a connection attempt would block,
the application should then take appropriate action to wait until
the underlying socket has connected and retry the call.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_conn_hostname()\fR, \fBBIO_set_conn_port()\fR, \fBBIO_get_conn_hostname()\fR,
\&\fBBIO_set_conn_address()\fR, \fBBIO_get_conn_port()\fR, \fBBIO_get_conn_address()\fR,
\&\fBBIO_set_conn_ip_family()\fR, \fBBIO_get_conn_ip_family()\fR,
\&\fBBIO_set_nbio()\fR, and \fBBIO_do_connect()\fR are macros.
