Allows an application to monitor network connections.
The client interface is superseded in v7.0s by the Connection Management API (which is part of the Sockets Client API).
When a network protocol has no route available to some destination machine or network, the system uses NifMan to start up an appropriate network interface.
NifMan itself uses a client/server architecture. The server defines a plug-in architecture for agents that establish such interfaces.
The client interface passes application requests to monitor a
connection to the NifMan server for processing. It is provided by
RNif. Progress information is returned in
TNifProgress objects.
