returning \-1 if the host does not exist.
|

|
|
Otherwise

2005-11-03 14:27:02 +00:00

If a username and password are both specified, then these

|
|
|
.I inport
|
2007-12-09 14:29:12 +00:00

specifies which well-known DARPA Internet port to use for
|
2005-11-03 14:27:02 +00:00
|
|

the connection; the call
|

|
|
|
.BR getservent (3))
|
2007-12-09 14:29:12 +00:00
|
|
|
will return a pointer to a structure that contains the necessary port.
|
2005-11-03 14:27:02 +00:00
|
|
|
The protocol for connection is described in detail in

If the connection succeeds,
|
|
|
|
a socket in the Internet domain of type

|
|
|
.BR SOCK_STREAM
|
2005-11-03 14:27:02 +00:00

is returned to
|
|
|
|
the caller, and given to the remote command as
|
2007-12-03 19:53:53 +00:00
|
|
|
.IR stdin
|
2005-11-03 14:27:02 +00:00

|
|
|
is non-zero, then an auxiliary channel to a control
|
|
|
|
process will be setup, and a descriptor for it will be placed
|
|
|
|
in

2007-12-03 19:53:53 +00:00
|
|
|
.IR *fd2p .
|
2005-11-03 14:27:02 +00:00
|
|
|
The control process will return diagnostic
|
|
|
|
output from the command (unit 2) on this channel, and will also
|
|
|
|
accept bytes on this channel as being

|
signal numbers, to be
|
|
|
|
forwarded to the process group of the command.
|
|
|
|
The diagnostic
|
|
|
|
information returned does not include remote authorization failure,
|
|
|
|
as the secondary connection is set up after authorization has been
|
|
|
|
verified.

If

although you may be able to get its attention by using out-of-band data.
