/* NAME
/*	timed_connect 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	connect operation with timeout
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <sys/socket.h>
/*	#include <timed_connect.h>
/*
/*	int	timed_connect(fd, buf, buf_len, timeout)
/*	int	fd;
/*	struct sockaddr	*buf;
/*	int	buf_len;
/*	int	timeout;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	timed_connect() implement a BSD socket connect() operation that is
/*	bounded in time.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP fd
/*	File descriptor in the range 0..FD_SETSIZE. This descriptor
/*	must be set to non-blocking mode prior to calling timed_connect().
/* .IP buf
/*	Socket address buffer pointer.
/* .IP buf_len
/*	Size of socket address buffer.
/* .IP timeout
/*	The deadline in seconds. This must be a number > 0.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Panic: interface violations.
/*	When the operation does not complete within the deadline, the
/*	result value is -1, and errno is set to ETIMEDOUT.
/*	All other returns are identical to those of a blocking connect(2)
/*	operation.
/* WARNINGS
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	A common error is to call timed_connect() without enabling
/*	non-blocking I/O on the socket. In that case, the \fItimeout\fR
/*	parameter takes no effect.
/* LICENSE
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
