@(#)externalconnect.3c 5.1 (Berkeley) 05/16/89
#include <phonenumber.h> #include <connect.h>externalconnect(towhere, options, optslen) struct connectdomain *towhere; char *options; int optlen;
The parameter towhere does not necessarily need to specify a complete final addres, as in the case where an outside modem of a specific type is requested and no dialing is going to be done and all that is required is just that a line and a modem be allocated and prepared for use per options.
The parameter options points to a value-result buffer area where options are passed to the connector program and optionally returned from the connectd(8C) daemon. The buffer should be large enough to contain all expected string options that may be returned. Options within this buffer are a sequence of null-terminated strings, ending with the null string itself.
20 [EADDRNOTAVAIL] The specified address is not available on this machine.
20 [EAFNOSUPPORT] Addresses in the specified address family cannot be used with this socket.
20 [ETIMEDOUT] Connection establishment timed out without establishing a connection.
20 [ECONNREFUSED] The attempt to connect was forcefully rejected.
