Asynchronous

All DarkNet commands have a non blocking option so that your application can continue operating whilst a DarkNet operation completes.

This is most useful when connecting to a server. Whilst connecting a handshaking process completes behind the scenes and this can take several seconds on slow connections.

There are two ways of using mnConnect in DarkNet. Note that all other commands that may take several seconds to complete operate in a similar way.

1. Synchronous

mnConnect will not return until the specified timeout length has expired, or the connection has completed:

2. Asynchronous

mnConnect returns straight away and mnPollConnect is used to determine the status of the connection process. mnStopConnect can be used to halt the connection process prematurely.
