42 @discussion The SCNetworkConnection API contains functions that allow
43 an application to control connection-oriented services defined
44 in the system and get connection-status information.
46 The functions in the SCNetworkConnection API allow you to
47 control and get information about existing services only.
48 If you need to create, change, or remove services, you
49 should use the SCNetworkConfiguration API instead.
51 Note: Currently, only PPP services can be controlled.

420 @function SCNetworkConnectionStart
421 @discussion Starts the connection for the SCNetworkConnection.
422 The connection process is asynchronous and the function will
423 return immediately. The connection status can be obtained
424 by polling or by callback. The connection is made with the
425 default settings from the administrator. Some of the settings
426 can be overridden for the duration of the connection. These
427 are specified in an options dictionary. The options dictionary
428 uses the same format as a network service defined in the system
429 configuration preferences schema.
431 Note: Starting and stopping of connections is implicitly
432 arbitrated. Calling SCNetworkConnectionStart on a connection
433 already started will indicate that the application has
434 interest in the connection and it shouldn't be stopped by
436 @param connection The SCNetworkConnection to start.
437 @param userOptions The options dictionary to start the connection with.
438 If userOptions is NULL, the default settings will be used.
439 If userOptions are specified, they must be in the same format
440 as network services stored in the system configuration
441 preferences schema. The options will override the default
442 settings defined for the service.
444 For security reasons, not all options can be overridden; the
445 appropriate merging of all settings will be done before the
446 connection is established, and inappropriate options will be
448 @param linger This parameter indicates whether or not the connection
449 can stay around when the application no longer has interest
450 in it. A typical application should pass FALSE, and the
451 connection will be automatically stopped when the reference
452 is released or if the application quits. If the application
453 passes TRUE, the application can release the reference or
454 exit and the connection will be maintained until a timeout
455 event, until a specific stop request occurs, or until an
456 error is encountered.
457 @result Returns TRUE if the connection was correctly started (the
458 actual connection is not established yet, and the connection
459 status needs to be periodically checked); FALSE if the
460 connection request was not started. The error must be
461 retrieved from the SCError function.

473 @discussion Stops the connection for the SCNetworkConnection.
474 The disconnection process is asynchronous and the function
475 will return immediately. The connection status can be
476 obtained by polling or by callback. This function performs
477 an arbitrated stop of the connection. If several applications
478 have marked their interest in the connection, by calling
479 SCNetworkConnectionStart, the call will succeed but the
480 actual connection will be maintained until the last interested
481 application calls SCNetworkConnectionStop.
483 In certain cases, you might want to stop the connection anyway.
484 In these cases, you set the forceDisconnect argument to TRUE.
