NAME
mongoc_socket_connect() - This function is a wrapper around the BSD socket connect() interface. It
provides better portability between UNIX-like and Microsoft Windows platforms.
SYNOPSIS
int
mongoc_socket_connect (mongoc_socket_t *sock,
const struct sockaddr *addr,
socklen_t addrlen,
int64_t expire_at);
PARAMETERS
sock A mongoc_socket_t \&.
addr A struct sockaddr.
addrlen
A 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(3) 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 bson_get_monotonic_time(3) \&.
RETURNS
0 if successful, ‐1 on failure and errno is set.
