/* NAME
/*	stream_connect 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	connect to stream listener
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <connect.h>
/*
/*	int	stream_connect(path, block_mode, timeout)
/*	const char *path;
/*	int	block_mode;
/*	int	timeout;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	stream_connect() connects to a stream listener for the specified
/*	pathname, and returns the resulting file descriptor.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP path
/*	Null-terminated string with listener endpoint name.
/* .IP block_mode
/*	Either NON_BLOCKING for a non-blocking stream, or BLOCKING for
/*	blocking mode. However, a stream connection succeeds or fails
/*	immediately.
/* .IP timeout
/*	This argument is ignored; it is present for compatibility with
/*	other interfaces. Stream connections succeed or fail immediately.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	The result is -1 in case the connection could not be made.
/*	Fatal errors: other system call failures.
/* LICENSE
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
