+== NAME
+
+nng_dial - create and start dialer
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+-----------
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+int nng_dial(nng_socket s, const char *url, nng_dialer *dp, int flags);
+-----------
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_dialer()` function creates a newly initialized
+dialer, associated with socket _s_, and configured to listen at the
+address specified by _url_. If the value of _dp_ is not `NULL`, then
+the newly created dialer is stored at the address indicated by _dp_.
+
+Dialers initiate a remote connection to a listener. Upon a successful
+connection being established, they create a pipe, add it to the socket,
+and then wait for that pipe to be closed. When the pipe is closed,
+they will re-initiate the connection. Dialer's will also periodically
+retry a connection automatically if an attempt to connect asynchronously
+fails.
+
+TIP: While it is convenient to think of dialers as "clients", the relationship
+between the listener or dialer is orthogonal to any server or client status
+that might be associated with a given protocol. For example, a <<nng_req#,REQ>>
+socket might have associated dialers, but might also have associated listeners.
+It may even have some of each at the same time!
+
+Normally, the first attempt to connect to the address indicated by _url_ is done
+synchronously, including any necessary name resolution. As a result,
+a failure, such as if the connection is refused, will be returned
+immediately, and no further action will be taken.
+
+However, if the special value `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK` is
+supplied in _flags_, then the connection attempt is made asynchronously.
+
+Furthermore, if the connection was closed for a synchronously dialed
+connection, the dialer will still attempt to redial asynchronously.
+
+TIP: While `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK` can help an application be more resilient,
+it also generally makes diagnosing failures somewhat more difficult.
+
+Because the dialer is started immediately, it is generally not possible
+to apply extra configuration; if that is needed applications should consider
+using <<nng_dialer_create#,nng_dialer_create(3)>> and
+<<nng_dialer_start#,nng_dialer_start(3)>> instead.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+`NNG_EADDRINVAL`:: An invalid _url_ was specified.
+`NNG_ECLOSED`:: The socket _s_ is not open.
+`NNG_ECONNREFUSED`:: The remote peer refused the connection.
+`NNG_ECONNRESET`:: The remote peer reset the connection.

+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+-----------
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+int nng_dialer_close(nng_dialer d);
+-----------
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_dialer_close()` function closes the listener _d_.
+This also closes any pipe that has been created by the dialer.
+
+Once this function returns, the dialer _d_ and any of its resources
+are deallocated. Therefore it is an error to attempt to access _d_
+after this function has returned. (Attempts to do so will result in
+`NNG_ECLOSED` errors.)
+
+Dialers are implicitly closed when the socket they are associated with
+is closed.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+`NNG_ECLOSED`:: Parameter _d_ does not refer to an open listener.

+
+int nng_dialer_create(nng_dialer *dialerp, nng_socket s, const char *url);
+-----------
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_dialer_create()` function creates a newly initialized
+dialer, associated with socket _s_, and configured to connect to the
+address specified by _url_, and stores a pointer to at the location
+referenced by _dialerp_.
+

+
+The dialer is not started, but may be further configured with

+functions.
+
+Once it is fully configured, the dialer may be started using the

+== NAME
+
+nng_dialer_getopt - get dialer option
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+-----------
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+int nng_dialer_getopt(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, void *val, size_t *valszp);
+int nng_dialer_getopt_int(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, int *ivalp);
+int nng_dialer_getopt_ms(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, nng_duration *durp);
+int nng_dialer_getopt_ptr(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, void **ptr);
+int nng_dialer_setopt_size(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, size_t *zp);
+int nng_dialer_getopt_uint64(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, uint64_t *u64p);
+-----------
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_dialer_getopt()` functions are used to retrieve option values for
+the dialer _d_. The actual options that may be retrieved in this way
+vary, and are documented in the <<nng_getopt#,nng_getopt(3)>> manual.
+Additionally some transport-specific options are documented with the
+transports themselves.
+
+In all of these forms, the option _opt_ is retrieved from the dialer _d_.
+
+The details of the type, size, and semantics of the option will depend
+on the actual option, and will be documented with the option itself.
+
+The first form of this function, `nng_dialer_getopt()`, can be used to
+retrieve the value of any option. It is untyped. The caller must store
+a pointer to a buffer to receive the value in _val_, and the size of the
+buffer shall be stored at the location referenced by _valszp_.
+
+When the function returns, the actual size of the data copied (or that
+would have been copied if sufficient space were present) is stored at
+the location referened by _valszp_. If the caller's buffer is not large
+enough to hold the entire object, then the copy is truncated. Therefore
+the caller should validate that the returned size in _valszp_ does not
+exceed the original buffer size to check for truncation.
+
+It is acceptable to pass `NULL` for _val_ if the value in _valszp_ is zero.
+This can be used to determine the size of the buffer needed to receive
+the object.
+
+Generally, it will be easier to use one of the typed forms instead. Note
+however that no validation that the option is actually of the associated
+type is performed, so the caller must take care to use the *correct* typed
+form.
+
+The second form, `nng_dialer_getopt_int()`,
+is for options which take an integer (or boolean). The value will
+be stored at _ivalp_. For booleans the value will be eiher 0 (false) or 1 (true).
+
+The third form, `nng_dialer_getopt_ms()`, is used to retrieve time durations
+(such as timeouts), stored in _durp_ as a number of milliseconds.
+(The special value `NNG_DUR_INFINITE` means an infinite amount of time, and
+the special value `NNG_DUR_DEFAULT` means a context-specific default.)
+
+The fourth form, `nng_dialer_getopt_ptr()`, is used to retrieve a
+pointer _ptr_ to structured data. The data referenced by _ptr_ is
+generally managed using other functions.
+Note that this form is somewhat special in that the object is generally
+not copied, but instead the *pointer* to the object is copied.
+
+The fifth form, `nng_dialer_getopt_size()`, is used to retrieve a size
+into the pointer _zp_, typically for buffer sizes, message maximum sizes, and
+similar options.
+
+The sixth form, `nng_diale_getopt_uint64()`, is used to retrieve a
+64-bit unsigned value into the value referenced by _u64p_.
+This is typically used for options
+related to identifiers, network numbers, and similar.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+`NNG_ECLOSED`:: Parameter _d_ does not refer to an open dialer.
+`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: The option _opt_ is not supported.
+`NNG_EWRITEONLY`:: The option _opt_ is write-only.

+== NAME
+
+nng_dialer_setopt - set dialer option
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+-----------
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+int nng_dialer_setopt(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, const void *val,
+ size_t valsz);
+int nng_dialer_setopt_int(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, int ival);
+int nng_dialer_setopt_ms(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, nng_duration dur);
+int nng_dialer_setopt_ptr(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, void *ptr);
+int nng_dialer_setopt_size(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, size_t z);
+int nng_dialer_setopt_string(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, const char *str);
+int nng_dialer_setopt_uint64(nng_dialer d, const char *opt, uint64_t u64);
+-----------
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_dialer_setopt()` functions are used to configure options for
+the dialer _d_. The actual options that may be configured in this way
+vary, and are documented in the <<nng_setopt#,nng_setopt(3)>> manual.
+Additionally some transport-specific options are documented with the
+transports themselves.
+
+In all of these forms, the option _opt_ is configured on the dialer _d_.
+
+The details of the type, size, and semantics of the option will depend
+on the actual option, and will be documented with the option itself.
+
+The first form of this function, `nng_dialer_setopt()`, can be used to
+configure any arbitrary data.
+The _val_ pointer addresses the data to copy, and _valsz_ is the
+size of the objected located at _val_.
+
+Generally, it will be easier to use one of the typed forms instead.
+
+The second form, `nng_dialer_setopt_int()`,
+is for options which take an integer (or boolean). The _ival_
+is passed to the option. For booleans pass either 0 (false) or 1 (true).
+
+The third form, `nng_dialer_setopt_ms()`, is used to configure time durations
+(such as timeouts).
+The duration _dur_ is an integer number of milliseconds. (The special value
+`NNG_DUR_INFINITE` means an infinite amount of time.)
+
+The fourth form, `nng_dialer_setopt_ptr()`, is used to pass a
+pointer _ptr_ to structured data. The data referenced by _ptr_ is
+generally managed by other functions.
+For example, TLS configuration objects
+(<<nng_tls_config_alloc#,nng_tls_config_alloc(3)>>) can be passed this way.
+Note that this form is somewhat special in that the object is generally
+not copied, but instead the *pointer* to the object is copied.
+
+The fifth form, `nng_dialer_setopt_size()`, is used to pass a size
+specified by _z_, typically for buffer sizes, message maximum sizes, and
+similar options.
+
+The sixth form, `nng_dialer_setopt_string()`, is used to pass a string
+_str_. Strings passed this way must be legal UTF-8 or ASCII strings, terminated
+with a `NUL` (`\0`) byte. (Other constraints may apply as well, see the
+documentation for _opt_ for details.)
+
+The seventh form, `nng_dialer_setopt_uint64()`, is used to configure
+the 64-bit unsigned value in _u64_. This is typically used for options
+related to identifiers, network numbers, and similar.
+
+NOTE: Once a dialer has started, it is generally not possible to change
+it's configuration.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+`NNG_ECLOSED`:: Parameter _d_ does not refer to an open dialer.
+`NNG_EINVAL`:: The value being passed is invalid.
+`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: The option _opt_ is not supported.
+`NNG_EREADONLY`:: The option _opt_ is read-only.
+`NNG_ESTATE`:: The dialer _d_ is already started.

+[source, c]
+-----------
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+int nng_dialer_start(nng_dialer d, int flags);
+-----------
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_dialer_start()` function starts the dialer _d_.
+
+This causes the dialer to start connecting to the address with which it was
+created.
+
+When a connection is established, it results in a pipe being created,
+which will be attached to the dialer's socket.
+
+Normally, the first attempt to connect to the dialer's address is done
+synchronously, including any necessary name resolution. As a result,
+a failure, such as if the connection is refused, will be returned
+immediately, and no further action will be taken.
+
+However, if the special value `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK` is
