int socket_connect( int s, string address,
string read_callback,
string write_callback );
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
The argument s is a socket. s must be either a STREAM mode
or a MUD mode socket. address is the address to which the
socket will attempt to connect. address is of the form:
"127.0.0.1 23"
The argument read_callback is the name of a function for
the driver to call when the socket gets data from its
peer. The read callback should follow this format:
void read_callback(int fd, mixed message)
Where fd is the socket which received the data, and mes-
sage is the data which was received.
The argument write_callback is the name of a function for
the driver to call when the socket is ready to be written
to. The write callback should follow this format:
void write_callback(int fd)
Where fd is the socket which is ready to be written to.
