.SH "NAME"
knet_handle_new \- create a new instance of a knet handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <libknet.h>
.sp
\fBknet_handle_t knet_handle_new\fP(
    \fBknet_node_id_t \fP\fIhost_id\fP,
    \fBint            \fP\fIlog_fd\fP,
    \fBuint8_t        \fP\fIdefault_log_level\fP
);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP 
knet_handle_new
.PP 
host_id - Each host in a knet is identified with a unique ID. when creating a new handle local host_id must be specified (0 to UINT16T_MAX are all valid). It is the user's responsibility to check that the value is unique, or bad things might happen.
.PP 
log_fd - Write file descriptor. If set to a value > 0, it will be used to write log packets from libknet to the application. Setting to 0 will disable logging from libknet. It is possible to enable logging at any given time (see logging API). Make sure to either read from this filedescriptor properly and/or mark it O_NONBLOCK, otherwise if the fd becomes full, libknet could block.
.PP 
default_log_level - If logfd is specified, it will initialize all subsystems to log at default_log_level value. (see logging API)
.SH RETURN VALUE
.PP
on success, a new knet_handle_t is returned. on failure, NULL is returned and errno is set.
