yaz_connect — Prepares for a connection to a Z39.50 server
Description
This function returns a connection resource on success, zero on failure.
yaz_connect() prepares for a connection to a Z39.50 server. This function is non-blocking and does not attempt to establish a connection - it merely prepares a connect to be performed later when yaz_wait() is called.
Note:
The » YAZ proxy is a freely available Z39.50 proxy.

If you open a persistent connection, you won't be able to close it later with yaz_close().
- piggyback
-
A boolean. If
TRUEpiggyback is enabled for searches; IfFALSEpiggyback is disabled. By default piggyback is enabled.Enabling piggyback is more efficient and usually saves a network-round-trip for first time fetches of records. However, a few Z39.50 servers do not support piggyback or they ignore element set names. For those, piggyback should be disabled.
- charset
-
A string that specifies character set to be used in Z39.50 language and character set negotiation. Use strings such as: ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, UTF-16.
Most Z39.50 servers do not support this feature (and thus, this is ignored). Many servers use the ISO-8859-1 encoding for queries and messages. MARC21/USMARC records are not affected by this setting.
- preferredMessageSize
-
An integer that specifies the maximum byte size of all records to be returned by a target during retrieval. See the » Z39.50 standard for more information.
Note:
This option is supported in PECL YAZ 1.0.5 or later.
- maximumRecordSize
-
An integer that specifies the maximum byte size of a single record to be returned by a target during retrieval. This entity is referred to as Exceptional-record-size in the » Z39.50 standard.
