bnet_open

To establish a connection to a server, use the subroutine:

BSOCK *bnet_open(void *jcr, char *host, char *service, int port, int *fatal) bnet_open(), if successful, returns the Bacula sock descriptor pointer to be used in subsequent bnet_send() and bnet_read() requests. If not successful, bnet_open() returns a NULL. If fatal is set on return, it means that a fatal error occurred and that you should not repeatedly call bnet_open(). Any error message will generally be sent to the JCR.
