DESCRIPTION

       The nng_dialer_get() functions are used to retrieve option values for the dialer d. The actual options
       that may be retrieved in this way vary, and many are documented in nng_options(5).

       Additionally some transport-specific options are documented with the transports themselves.

   Forms
       In all of these forms, the option opt is retrieved from the dialer d. The forms vary based on the type of
       the option they take.

       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.

       nng_dialer_get()
           This function is untyped and can be used to retrieve the value of any option. 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 referenced 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.

           Note

           This function is deprecated. Use one of the typed functions listed below instead.

       nng_dialer_get_bool()
           This function is for options which take a Boolean (bool). The value will be stored at bvalp.

       nng_dialer_get_int()
           This function is for options which take an integer (int). The value will be stored at ivalp.

       nng_dialer_get_ms()
           This function is used to retrieve time durations (such as timeouts), stored in durp as a number of
           milliseconds. (The special value NNG_DURATION_INFINITE means an infinite amount of time, and the
           special value NNG_DURATION_DEFAULT means a context-specific default.)

       nng_dialer_get_ptr()
           This function 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.

       nng_dialer_get_size()
           This function is used to retrieve a size into the pointer zp, typically for buffer sizes, message
           maximum sizes, and similar options.

       nng_dialer_get_addr()
           This function is used to retrieve an nng_sockaddr into the value referenced by sap.

       nng_dialer_get_string()
           This function is used to retrieve a string into strp. This string is created from the source using
           nng_strdup() and consequently must be freed by the caller using nng_strfree() when it is no longer
           needed.

       nng_dialer_get_uint64()
           This function 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.

       nng_dialer_get_url()
           This function is used to obtain the URL that dialer is configured for.

RETURN VALUES

       These functions returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.

ERRORS

       NNG_EBADTYPE
           Incorrect type for option.

       NNG_ECLOSED
           Parameter d does not refer to an open dialer.

       NNG_EINVAL
           Size of destination val too small for object.

       NNG_ENOMEM
           Insufficient memory exists.

       NNG_ENOTSUP
           The option opt is not supported.

       NNG_EWRITEONLY
           The option opt is write-only.
