|

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/socket.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn connect "int s" "const struct sockaddr *name" "socklen_t namelen"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
argument
|
|
is a socket.
|
|
If it is of type
|
|
.Dv SOCK_DGRAM ,
|
|
this call specifies the peer with which the socket is to be associated;
|
|
this address is that to which datagrams are to be sent,
|
|
and the only address from which datagrams are to be received.
|
|
If the socket is of type
|
|
.Dv SOCK_STREAM ,
|
|
this call attempts to make a connection to
|
|
another socket.
|
|
The other socket is specified by
|
|
.Fa name ,
|
|
which is an address in the communications space of the socket.
|
|
Each communications space interprets the
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
argument in its own way.
|
|
Generally, stream sockets may successfully
|
|
.Fn connect
|
|
only once; datagram sockets may use
|
|
.Fn connect
|
|
multiple times to change their association.
|
|
Datagram sockets may dissolve the association
|
|
by connecting to an invalid address, such as a null address.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES

is not a valid descriptor.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTSOCK
|
|

|
|
is a descriptor for a file, not a socket.
|
|
.It Bq Er EADDRNOTAVAIL
|
|
The specified address is not available on this machine.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAFNOSUPPORT
|
|
Addresses in the specified address family cannot be used with this socket.
|
|
.It Bq Er EISCONN
|
|
The socket is already connected.
|
|
.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
|
|
Connection establishment timed out without establishing a connection.

|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|

The
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
argument specifies an area outside
|
|
the process address space.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINPROGRESS
|
|
The socket is non-blocking
|
|
and the connection cannot
|
|
be completed immediately.
|
|
It is possible to
|
|
.Xr select 2
|
|
for completion by selecting the socket for writing.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
The connection attempt was interrupted by the delivery of a signal.
|
|
The connection will be established in the background,
|
|
as in the case of
|
|
.Er EINPROGRESS .
|
|
.It Bq Er EALREADY
|
|
A previous connection attempt has not yet been completed.
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
An attempt is made to connect to a broadcast address (obtained through the
|
|
.Dv INADDR_BROADCAST
|
|
constant or the
|
|
.Dv INADDR_NONE
|
|
return value) through a socket that does not provide broadcast functionality.
