It provides better portability between UNIX\-like and Microsoft Windows platforms. .sp This function performs a socket connection but will fail if \fBexpire_at\fP has been reached by the monotonic clock. Keep in mind that this is an absolute timeout in milliseconds. You should add your desired timeout to \fI\%System Clock\fP\&. .SH RETURNS .sp 0 if successful, \-1 on failure and errno is set. .SH AUTHOR MongoDB, Inc .SH COPYRIGHT 2017-present, MongoDB, Inc .\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. .
