The function takes the following arguments: +.IP "\fIsocket\fR" 12 +Specifies the file descriptor associated with the socket. +.IP "\fIaddress\fR" 12 +Points to a +.BR sockaddr +structure containing the peer address. The length and format of the +address depend on the address family of the socket. +.IP "\fIaddress_len\fR" 12 +Specifies the length of the +.BR sockaddr +structure pointed to by the +.IR address +argument. +.P +If the socket has not already been bound to a local address, +\fIconnect\fR() +shall bind it to an address which, unless the socket's address family +is AF_UNIX, is an unused local address. +.P +If the initiating socket is not connection-mode, then +\fIconnect\fR() +shall set the socket's peer address, and no connection is made. For +SOCK_DGRAM sockets, the peer address identifies where all datagrams are +sent on subsequent +\fIsend\fR() +functions, and limits the remote sender for subsequent +\fIrecv\fR() +functions. If the +.IR sa_family +member of +.IR address +is AF_UNSPEC, the socket's peer address shall be reset. Note that despite +no connection being made, the term ``connected'' is used to describe a +connectionless-mode socket for which a peer address has been set. +.P +If the initiating socket is connection-mode, then +\fIconnect\fR() +shall attempt to establish a connection to the address specified by the +.IR address +argument. If the connection cannot be established immediately and +O_NONBLOCK is not set for the file descriptor for the socket, +\fIconnect\fR() +shall block for up to an unspecified timeout interval until the +connection is established. If the timeout interval expires before the +connection is established, +\fIconnect\fR() +shall fail and the connection attempt shall be aborted. If +\fIconnect\fR() +is interrupted by a signal that is caught while blocked waiting to +establish a connection, +\fIconnect\fR() +shall fail and set +.IR errno +to +.BR [EINTR] , +but the connection request shall not be aborted, and the connection +shall be established asynchronously. +.P +If the connection cannot be established immediately and O_NONBLOCK is +set for the file descriptor for the socket, +\fIconnect\fR() +shall fail and set +.IR errno +to +.BR [EINPROGRESS] , +but the connection request shall not be aborted, and the connection +shall be established asynchronously. Subsequent calls to +\fIconnect\fR() +for the same socket, before the connection is established, shall fail +and set +.IR errno +to +.BR [EALREADY] . +.P +When the connection has been established asynchronously, +\fIpselect\fR(), +\fIselect\fR(), +and +\fIpoll\fR() +shall indicate that the file descriptor for the socket is ready for +writing. +.P +The socket in use may require the process to have appropriate +privileges to use the +\fIconnect\fR() +function. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +Upon successful completion, +\fIconnect\fR() +shall return 0; otherwise, \(mi1 shall be returned and +.IR errno +set to indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +The +\fIconnect\fR() +function shall fail if: +.TP +.BR EADDRNOTAVAIL +.br +The specified address is not available from the local machine. +.TP +.BR EAFNOSUPPORT +.br +The specified address is not a valid address for the address family of +the specified socket. +.TP +.BR EALREADY +A connection request is already in progress for the specified socket. +.TP +.BR EBADF +The +.IR socket +argument is not a valid file descriptor. +.TP +.BR ECONNREFUSED +.br +The target address was not listening for connections or refused the +connection request. +.TP +.BR EINPROGRESS +O_NONBLOCK is set for the file descriptor for the socket and the +connection cannot be immediately established; the connection shall be +established asynchronously. +.TP +.BR EINTR +The attempt to establish a connection was interrupted by delivery of a +signal that was caught; the connection shall be established +asynchronously. +.TP +.BR EISCONN +The specified socket is connection-mode and is already connected. +.TP +.BR ENETUNREACH +.br +No route to the network is present. +.TP +.BR ENOTSOCK +The +.IR socket +argument does not refer to a socket. +.TP +.BR EPROTOTYPE +The specified address has a different type than the socket bound to the +specified peer address. +.TP +.BR ETIMEDOUT +The attempt to connect timed out before a connection was made. +.P +If the address family of the socket is AF_UNIX, then +\fIconnect\fR() +shall fail if: +.TP +.BR EIO +An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system. +.TP +.BR ELOOP +A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the +pathname in +.IR address . +.TP +.BR ENAMETOOLONG +.br +The length of a component of a pathname is longer than +{NAME_MAX}. +.TP +.BR ENOENT +A component of the pathname does not name an existing file or the +pathname is an empty string. +.TP +.BR ENOTDIR +A component of the path prefix of the pathname in +.IR address +names an existing file that is neither a directory nor a symbolic link +to a directory, or the pathname in +.IR address +contains at least one non-\c +<slash> +character and ends with one or more trailing +<slash> +characters and the last pathname component names an existing file that +is neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory. +.P +The +\fIconnect\fR() +function may fail if: +.TP +.BR EACCES +Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix; or +write access to the named socket is denied. +.TP +.BR EADDRINUSE +Attempt to establish a connection that uses addresses that are already +in use. +.TP +.BR ECONNRESET +Remote host reset the connection request. +.TP +.BR EHOSTUNREACH +.br +The destination host cannot be reached (probably because the host is +down or a remote router cannot reach it). +.TP +.BR EINVAL +The +.IR address_len +argument is not a valid length for the address family; or invalid +address family in the +.BR sockaddr +structure. +.TP +.BR ELOOP +More than +{SYMLOOP_MAX} +symbolic links were encountered during resolution of the pathname in +.IR address . +.TP +.BR ENAMETOOLONG +.br +The length of a pathname exceeds +{PATH_MAX}, +or pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate +result with a length that exceeds +{PATH_MAX}. +.TP +.BR ENETDOWN +The local network interface used to reach the destination is down. +.TP +.BR ENOBUFS +No buffer space is available. +.TP +.BR EOPNOTSUPP +The socket is listening and cannot be connected. +.LP +.IR "The following sections are informative." +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH "APPLICATION USAGE" +If +\fIconnect\fR() +fails, the state of the socket is unspecified.
