netconn_new() — Create a new connection structure

Synopsis

struct netconn *netconn_new (enum netconn_type type );

Description

Creates a new connection abstraction structure. The argument usually one of either NETCONN_TCP or NETCONN_UDP, yielding either a TCP or a UDP connection. No connection is established by the call to this function and no data is sent over the network.

For more advanced use, it is also possible to specify different connection types: NETCONN_UDPLITE, NETCONN_UDPNOCHKSUM or NETCONN_RAW.

If IPv6 support is configured then the type can be suffixed with _IPV6 to specify an IPv6 connection. e.g. NETCONN_TCP_IPV6.
