The connect function is used with TCP sockets to establish a new
connection to a TCP server.
The connect function results in a
SOCKET_MSG_CONNECT sent to the socket event handler callback upon
completion. The connect event is sent when the TCP server accepts the connection or, if
no remote host response is received, after a time-out interval of approximately 30
seconds.
Note: The
SOCKET_MSG_CONNECT event callback provides a
tstrSocketConnectMsg containing an error code. The error code
value indicates:
Zero
value to indicate the successful connection or
Negative
value to indicate an error due to a time-out condition or if
connect is used with UDP socket.
