class type client_endpoint_connector =object
..end
This class type provides engines to connect to a service. In order
to get and activate such an engine, call connect
.
method connect : connect_address ->
Unixqueue.event_system -> connect_status Uq_engines.engine
Instantiates an engine that connects to the endpoint given by the
connect_address
argument. If successful, the state of the engine
changes to `Done(status)
where status
contains the socket
details. The connection is established in the background.
The type of status will correspond to the type of connect address
(e.g. a `Socket
address will return a `Socket
status).
The close-on-exec flag of the created socket descriptor is always set. The socket descriptor is always in non-blocking mode.
