Asynchronously Establishing a Connection

A process can attempt a connection and asynchronously complete the connection. The process first creates the connecting endpoint, and, using fcntl(2), configures the endpoint for non-blocking operation. As with connectionless data transfers, the endpoint can also be configured for asynchronous notification upon completion of the connection and subsequent data transfers. The connecting process then uses the t_connect(3N) function to initiate setting up the transfer. Then the t_rcvconnect(3N) function is used to confirm the establishment of the connection.
