SYNOPSIS

          int
          mongoc_socket_connect (mongoc_socket_t *sock,
                                 const struct sockaddr *addr,
                                 mongoc_socklen_t addrlen,
                                 int64_t expire_at);

PARAMETERS

       • sock: A mongoc_socket_t <>.

       • addr: A struct sockaddr.

       • addrlen: A mongoc_socklen_t.

       • expire_at: A int64_t containing the absolute timeout using the monotonic clock.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  is  a  wrapper  around the BSD socket connect() interface. It provides better portability
       between UNIX-like and Microsoft Windows platforms.

       This function performs a socket connection but will fail if expire_at has been reached by  the  monotonic
       clock. Keep in mind that this is an absolute timeout in milliseconds. You should add your desired timeout
       to System Clock <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_get_monotonic_time.html>.

RETURNS

       0 if successful, -1 on failure and errno is set.
