       ixp_dial, ixp_announce

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ixp.h>

       int ixp_dial(const char *address);

       int ixp_announce(const char *address);

PARAMETERS

       address
              An  address  on  which  to  connect  or  listen,  specified in the Plan 9 resources
              specification format (<protocol>!address[!<port>])

DESCRIPTION

       These functions hide some of the ugliness of Berkely Sockets.  ixp_dial  connects  to  the
       resource at address, while ixp_announce begins listening on address.

RETURN VALUE

       These  functions  return file descriptors on success, and -1 on failure. ixp_errbuf(3) may
       be inspected on failure.
