NAME

connect − initiate a connection on a socket

SYNOPSIS

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

int connect(int sockfd, struct sockaddr *serv_addr, int addrlen );

DESCRIPTION

The parameter sockfd is a socket. If it is of type 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 SOCK_STREAM , this call attempts to make a connection to another socket. The other socket is specified by serv_addr, which is an address in the communications space of the socket. Each communications space interprets the serv_addr, parameter in its own way. Generally, stream sockets may successfully connect only once; datagram sockets may use connect multiple times to change their association. Datagram sockets may dissolve the association by connecting to an invalid address, such as a null address.

RETURN VALUE

If the connection or binding succeeds, zero is returned. On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

The following are general socket errors only. There may be other domain-specific error codes.

EBADF

Bad descriptor.

EFAULT

The socket structure address is outside your address space.

ENOTSOCK

The descriptor is not associated with a socket.

EISCONN

The socket is already connected.

ECONNREFUSED

Connection refused at server.

ETIMEDOUT

Timeout while attempting connection.

ENETUNREACH

Network is unreachable.

EADDRINUSE

Address is already in use.

EINPROGRESS

The socket is non-blocking and the connection cannot be completed immediately. It is possible to select(2) for completion by selecting the socket for writing. After select indicates writability, use getsockopt(2) to read the SO_ERROR option at level SOL_SOCKET to determine whether connect completed successfully (SO_ERROR is zero) or unsuccessfully (SO_ERROR is one of the usual error codes listed above, explaining the reason for the failure).

EALREADY

The socket is non-blocking and a previous connection attempt has not yet been completed.

CONFORMING TO

SVr4, 4.4BSD (the connect function first appeared in BSD 4.2). SVr4 documents additional general error codes EADDRNOTAVAIL, EINVAL, EAFNOSUPPORT, EALREADY, EINTR, EPROTOTYPE, ENOSR. It also documents many additional error conditions not described here.
