NAME

net_open - Make an outbound connection to a data source.

SYNOPSIS

vid or BADID
net_open( str:host, function:handler(source:vid, strtbl:status) )

DESCRIPTION

This creates an outbound connection to a network resource speaking the a12 protocol. If host starts with an @ sign and matches a known name in the keystore, the connection information and authentication credentials will be picked from there. The connection behaves just as if it had been initiated through launch_target or or target_alloc .

EXAMPLE

function net_open0()
      net_open("laptop",
      function(source, status)
            if status.kind == "segment_request" then
                  accept_target(0, 0,
                        function(source, status)
                              if status.kind == "resized" then
                                    show_image(source)
                                    resize_image(source, status.width, status.height)
                              end
                        end
                  )
            end
            if status.kind == "terminated" then
                  print("died", status.last_words)
                  delete_image(source)
                  return shutdown()
      end)
