Syntax

tcp_outint(socket, bytecount, byteorder, timeout, data);

Principal parameters
socket	- id of the socket connection to use for send
bytecount	- The number of bytes to be send. The only valid values are 1, 2 and 4. Varkon integer is 4 byte.
byteorder	- If = 1 conversion is made from local to network byteorder. 0 = no conversion.
timeout	- Time to wait when host is blocked.

Optional parameters
none

Return value

An INT value equal to the current error status as below:

4 =	Operation was successful, 4 bytes sent.
2 =	Operation was successful, 2 bytes sent.
1 =	Operation was successful, 1 byte sent.
-1 =	Timeout value is expired.
-2 =	The descriptor is not a socket or the socket is not connected.
-3 =	The network subsystem or the associated service provider has failed.
-18 =	Winsock routine select() failed before sending.
-19 =	Winsock routine send() failed.
-22 =	The virtual circuit was reset by the remote side executing a "hard" or "abortive" close.
-23 =	The connection has been dropped because of a network failure or because the system on the other end went down without notice.
