CONNECT(2)              COMMAND REFERENCE              CONNECT(2)



NAME
     connect - initiate a connection on a socket

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/socket.h>

     connect(s, name, namelen)
     int s;
     struct sockaddr *name;
     int namelen;

DESCRIPTION
     The parameter s is a socket.  If it is of type SOCK_DGRAM,
     then this call permanently specifies the peer to which
     datagrams are to be sent; if it is of type SOCK_STREAM, then
     this call attempts to make a connection to another socket.
     The other socket is specified by name which is an address in
     the communications space of the socket.  Each communications
     space interprets the name parameter in its own way.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The call fails if:

     [EBADF]      S is not a valid descriptor.

     [ENOTSOCK]   S is a descriptor for a file, not a socket.

     [EADDRNOTAVAIL]
                  The specified address (for internet domain
                  sockets) or name (for UTek domain sockets) is
                  not available on this machine.

     [EAFNOSUPPORT]
                  Addresses in the specified address family
                  cannot be used with this socket.

     [EISCONN]    The socket is already connected.

     [ETIMEDOUT]  Connection establishment timed out without
                  establishing a connection.

     [ECONNREFUSED]
                  The attempt to connect was forcefully rejected.

     [ENETUNREACH]
                  The network isn't reachable from this host.

     [EADDRINUSE] The address (for internet domain sockets) or
                  name (for UTek domain sockets) is already in
                  use.

CONNECT(2)              COMMAND REFERENCE              CONNECT(2)



     [EFAULT]     The name parameter specifies an area outside
                  the process address space.

     [EWOULDBLOCK]
                  The socket is non-blocking and the and the
                  connection cannot be completed immediately.  It
                  is possible to select(2) the socket while it is
                  connecting by selecting it for writing.

RETURN VALUE
     [0]  Successful binding or connection.

     [-1] Unsuccessful binding or connection.  A more specific
          error code is stored in errno.
