Arguments

`p_sock_id`	Pointer to a variable that will receive the socket ID opened from this function.
`p_remote_host_name`	Pointer to a string that contains the remote host name to resolve: Can be an IP (IPv4 or IPv6) or a host name (resolved using DNS).
`remote_port_nbr`	Port of the remote host.
`p_sock_addr`	Pointer to a variable that will receive the socket address of the remote host. (Can be set to DEF_NULL if the returned value is not required).
`p_secure_cfg`	Pointer to the secure configuration (TLS/SSL): DEF_NULL, if no security enabled. Pointer to a structure that contains the TLS/SSL parameters, if the TLS/SSL must be active on the connection.
`req_timeout_ms`	Connection timeout in ms.
`p_err`	Pointer to variable that will receive the return error code from this function.

NET_IP_ADDR_FAMILY_IPv4, if the connected successfully using an IPv4 address.

NET_IP_ADDR_FAMILY_IPv6, if the connected successfully using an IPv6 address.

NET_IP_ADDR_FAMILY_UNKNOWN, otherwise.
