Parameters
-
socket
-
-
address
-
The address parameter is either an IPv4 address
in dotted-quad notation (e.g. 127.0.0.1) if
socket is AF_INET, a valid
IPv6 address (e.g. ::1) if IPv6 support is enabled and
socket is AF_INET6
or the pathname of a Unix domain socket, if the socket family is
AF_UNIX.
-
port
-
The port parameter is only used and is mandatory
when connecting to an AF_INET or an
AF_INET6 socket, and designates
the port on the remote host to which a connection should be made.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. The error code can be retrieved with
socket_last_error. This code may be passed to
socket_strerror to get a textual explanation of the
error.
Note:
If the socket is non-blocking then this function returns FALSE with an
error Operation now in progress.
