NAME

       nbd_connect_tcp - connect to NBD server over a TCP port

SYNOPSIS

        #include <libnbd.h>

        int nbd_connect_tcp (
              struct nbd_handle *h, const char *hostname,
              const char *port
            );

DESCRIPTION

       Connect (synchronously) to the NBD server listening on "hostname:port".  The "port" may be
       a port name such as "nbd", or it may be a port number as a string such as "10809".

       This call returns when the connection has been made.  By default, this proceeds all the
       way to transmission phase, but nbd_set_opt_mode(3) can be used for manual control over
       option negotiation performed before transmission phase.

RETURN VALUE

       If the call is successful the function returns 0.

ERRORS

       On error -1 is returned.

       Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details of the error.

       The following parameters must not be NULL: "h", "hostname", "port".  For more information
       see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).
