-.fi -.SH DESCRIPTION -The -.BR connect () -system call connects the socket referred to by the file descriptor -.I sockfd -to the address specified by -.IR addr . -The -.I addrlen -argument specifies the size of -.IR addr . -The format of the address in -.I addr -is determined by the address space of the socket -.IR sockfd ; -see -.BR socket (2) -for further details. -.PP -If the socket -.I sockfd -is of type -.BR SOCK_DGRAM , -then -.I addr -is the address to which datagrams are sent by default, and the only -address from which datagrams are received. -If the socket is of type -.B SOCK_STREAM -or -.BR SOCK_SEQPACKET , -this call attempts to make a connection to the socket that is bound -to the address specified by -.IR addr . -.PP -Some protocol sockets (e.g., UNIX domain stream sockets) -may successfully -.BR connect () -only once. -.PP -Some protocol sockets -(e.g., datagram sockets in the UNIX and Internet domains) -may use -.BR connect () -multiple times to change their association. -.PP -Some protocol sockets -(e.g., TCP sockets as well as datagram sockets in the UNIX and -Internet domains) -may dissolve the association by connecting to an address with the -.I sa_family -member of -.I sockaddr -set to -.BR AF_UNSPEC ; -thereafter, the socket can be connected to another address. -.RB ( AF_UNSPEC -is supported since Linux 2.2.) -.SH RETURN VALUE -If the connection or binding succeeds, zero is returned. -On error, \-1 is returned, and -.I errno -is set to indicate the error. -.SH ERRORS -The following are general socket errors only. -There may be other domain-specific error codes. -.TP -.B EACCES -For UNIX domain sockets, which are identified by pathname: -Write permission is denied on the socket file, -or search permission is denied for one of the directories -in the path prefix. -(See also -.BR path_resolution (7).) -.TP -.BR EACCES ", " EPERM -The user tried to connect to a broadcast address without having the socket -broadcast flag enabled or the connection request failed because of a local -firewall rule. -.TP -.B EACCES -It can also be returned if an SELinux policy denied a connection (for -example, if there is a policy saying that an HTTP proxy can only -connect to ports associated with HTTP servers, and the proxy tries to -connect to a different port). -.TP -.B EADDRINUSE -Local address is already in use. -.TP -.B EADDRNOTAVAIL -(Internet domain sockets) -The socket referred to by -.I sockfd -had not previously been bound to an address and, -upon attempting to bind it to an ephemeral port, -it was determined that all port numbers in the ephemeral port range -are currently in use. -See the discussion of -.I /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range -in -.BR ip (7). -.TP -.B EAFNOSUPPORT -The passed address didn't have the correct address family in its -.I sa_family -field. -.TP -.B EAGAIN -For nonblocking UNIX domain sockets, the socket is nonblocking, and the -connection cannot be completed immediately. -For other socket families, there are insufficient entries in the routing cache. -.TP -.B EALREADY -The socket is nonblocking and a previous connection attempt has not yet -been completed. -.TP -.B EBADF -.I sockfd -is not a valid open file descriptor. -.TP -.B ECONNREFUSED -A -.BR connect () -on a stream socket found no one listening on the remote address. -.TP -.B EFAULT -The socket structure address is outside the user's address space. -.TP -.B EINPROGRESS -The socket is nonblocking and the connection cannot be completed immediately. -(UNIX domain sockets failed with -.B EAGAIN -instead.) -It is possible to -.BR select (2) -or -.BR poll (2) -for completion by selecting the socket for writing. -After -.BR select (2) -indicates writability, use -.BR getsockopt (2) -to read the -.B SO_ERROR -option at level -.B SOL_SOCKET -to determine whether -.BR connect () -completed successfully -.RB ( SO_ERROR -is zero) or unsuccessfully -.RB ( SO_ERROR -is one of the usual error codes listed here, -explaining the reason for the failure). -.TP -.B EINTR -The system call was interrupted by a signal that was caught; see -.BR signal (7). -.\" For TCP, the connection will complete asynchronously. -.\" See http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/12/254 -.TP -.B EISCONN -The socket is already connected. -.TP -.B ENETUNREACH -Network is unreachable. -.TP -.B ENOTSOCK -The file descriptor -.I sockfd -does not refer to a socket. -.TP -.B EPROTOTYPE -The socket type does not support the requested communications protocol. -This error can occur, for example, -on an attempt to connect a UNIX domain datagram socket to a stream socket. -.TP -.B ETIMEDOUT -Timeout while attempting connection. -The server may be too -busy to accept new connections. -Note that for IP sockets the timeout may -be very long when syncookies are enabled on the server. -.SH STANDARDS -POSIX.1-2008. -.SH HISTORY -POSIX.1-2001, SVr4, 4.4BSD, -.RB (connect () -first appeared in 4.2BSD). -.\" SVr4 documents the additional -.\" general error codes -.\" .BR EADDRNOTAVAIL , -.\" .BR EINVAL , -.\" .BR EAFNOSUPPORT , -.\" .BR EALREADY , -.\" .BR EINTR , -.\" .BR EPROTOTYPE , -.\" and -.\" .BR ENOSR . -.\" It also -.\" documents many additional error conditions not described here. -.SH NOTES -If -.BR connect () -fails, consider the state of the socket as unspecified. -Portable applications should close the socket and create a new one for -reconnecting. -.SH EXAMPLES -An example of the use of -.BR connect () -is shown in -.BR getaddrinfo (3). -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR accept (2), -.BR bind (2), -.BR getsockname (2), -.BR listen (2), -.BR socket (2), -.BR path_resolution (7), -.BR selinux (8) |
