== DESCRIPTION
(((options, dialer)))
The `nng_dialer_set()` functions are used to configure options for
the xref:nng_dialer.5.adoc[dialer] _d_.
The actual options that may be configured in this way
vary, and many are documented in xref:nng_options.5.adoc[nng_options(5)].
Additionally some transport-specific options are documented with the transports themselves.
NOTE: Once a dialer has started, it is generally not possible to change
its configuration.
=== Forms
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.
`nng_dialer_set()`::
This function is untyped, and 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_.
TIP: It may be easier to use one of the typed forms of this function.
`nng_dialer_set_bool()`::
This function is for options which take a Boolean (`bool`).
The _bval_ is passed to the option.
`nng_dialer_set_int()`::
This function is for options which take an integer (`int`).
The _ival_ is passed to the option.
`nng_dialer_set_ms()`::
This function is used to configure time durations (such as timeouts) using
type xref:nng_duration.5.adoc[`nng_duration`].
The duration _dur_ is an integer number of milliseconds.
`nng_dialer_set_ptr()`::
This function 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 created with
(xref:nng_tls_config_alloc.3tls.adoc[`nng_tls_config_alloc()`])
can be passed this way.
NOTE: This form is somewhat special in that the object is generally
not copied, but instead the *pointer* to the object is copied.
`nng_dialer_set_size()`::
This function is used to configure a size, _z_, typically for buffer sizes,
message maximum sizes, and similar options.
`nng_dialer_set_string()`::
This function is used to pass configure 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 each option
for details.)
`nng_dialer_set_uint64()`::
This function is used to configure a 64-bit unsigned value, _u64_.
This is typically used for options related to identifiers, network numbers,
and such.
== RETURN VALUES
These functions return 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
== ERRORS
[horizontal]
`NNG_EBADTYPE`:: Incorrect type for option.
`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.
