== NAME

nng_stream_dialer - byte stream dialer

== SYNOPSIS

[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>

typedef struct nng_stream_dialer nng_stream_dialer;
----

== DESCRIPTION

(((byte stream, dialer)))
An `nng_stream_dialer` is a handle to a "`dialer`" for byte streams,
and is responsible for creating
xref:nng_stream.5.adoc[`nng_stream`] objects (corresponding to connected byte
streams) by connecting to remote peers.

NOTE: The `nng_stream_dialer` object is used for low-level byte stream
connections, and should not be confused with a high-level
xref:nng_dialer.5.adoc[`nng_dialer`] object.
