`connect_to_peer`

#include "sflsock.h"
int
connect_to_peer (
    sock_t handle,                      /*  Socket to connect                */
    const struct sockaddr_in *sin       /*  Socket address structure         */
)

Synopsis

Connects an unconnected TCP or UDP socket to a peer specified by a sockaddr structure. Returns 0 if the connection succeeded, or SOCKET_ERROR if there was a problem. In the latter case you can get the reason for the error by calling sockmsg().
