tcp_address_from_file()

     #include "tcp.h"
     
     int tcp_address_from_file(ServerFile, Port, Host)
         char *ServerFile;
         int *Port;
         char **Host;
     

This reads the server's address from the file ServerFile, which was written by the server calling tcp_address_to_file/2.

Note that *Host is a pointer to static storage that will be overwritten at the next call to tcp_address_from_file().

tcp_address_from_file() returns zero upon successful completion.
