+== NAME
+
+nng_dialer_create - create dialer
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+----
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+int nng_dialer_create(nng_dialer *dialerp, nng_socket s, const char *url);
+----
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_dialer_create()` function creates a newly initialized
+<<nng_dialer.5#,`nng_dialer`>> object, 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_.
+
+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.
+Dialers 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.7#,_req_>>
+socket might have associated dialers, but might also have associated listeners.
+It may even have some of each at the same time!
+
+The dialer is not started, but may be further configured with
+the <<nng_dialer_setopt.3#,`nng_dialer_setopt()`>> family of functions.
+
+Once it is fully configured, the dialer may be started using the
+<<nng_dialer_start.3#,`nng_dialer_start()`>> function.
+
+TIP: If no specific configuration is required, consider using the
+simpler <<nng_dial.3#,`nng_dial()`>> function 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_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient memory is available.
