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.
