Hostname resolution is performed using a resolver, where host and service
|
|
names are looked up and converted into one or more endpoints:

The list of endpoints obtained above could contain both IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints,
|
|
so a program should try each of them until it finds one that works. This
|
|
keeps the client program independent of a specific IP version.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To simplify the development of protocol-independent programs, TCP clients
|
|
may establish connections using the free functions <a class="link" href="../../reference/connect.html" title="connect">connect()</a>
|
|
and <a class="link" href="../../reference/async_connect.html" title="async_connect">async_connect()</a>.
|
|
These operations try each endpoint in a list until the socket is successfully
|
|
connected. For example, a single call:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">connect</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">resolver</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">resolve</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">query</span><span class="special">));</span>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
will synchronously try all endpoints until one is successfully connected.
|
|
Similarly, an asynchronous connect may be performed by writing:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">async_connect</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">socket_</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">iter</span><span class="special">,</span>

<p>

When a specific endpoint is available, a socket can be created and connected:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">socket</span> <span class="identifier">socket</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">my_io_context</span><span class="special">);</span>

Data may be read from or written to a connected TCP socket using the <a class="link" href="../../reference/basic_stream_socket/receive.html" title="basic_stream_socket::receive">receive()</a>,

member functions. However, as these could result in <a class="link" href="../core/streams.html" title="Streams, Short Reads and Short Writes">short

operations instead: <a class="link" href="../../reference/read.html" title="read">read()</a>,
