NAME

connect - initiate a connection on a socket

LIBRARY

Lb libc

SYNOPSIS

In sys/types.h In sys/socket.h Ft int Fn connect int s const struct sockaddr *name socklen_t namelen

DESCRIPTION

The Fa s argument 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 Fa name , which is an address in the communications space of the socket. Each communications space interprets the Fa name argument in its own way. Generally, stream sockets may successfully Fn connect only once; datagram sockets may use Fn 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 VALUES

Rv -std connect

ERRORS

The Fn connect system call fails if:

Bq Er EBADF

The Fa s argument is not a valid descriptor.

Bq Er ENOTSOCK

The Fa s argument is a descriptor for a file, not a socket.

Bq Er EADDRNOTAVAIL

The specified address is not available on this machine.

Bq Er EAFNOSUPPORT

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

Bq Er EISCONN

The socket is already connected.

Bq Er ETIMEDOUT

Connection establishment timed out without establishing a connection.

Bq Er ECONNREFUSED

The attempt to connect was forcefully rejected.

Bq Er ENETUNREACH

The network is not reachable from this host.

Bq Er EHOSTUNREACH

The remote host is not reachable from this host.

Bq Er EADDRINUSE

The address is already in use.

Bq Er EFAULT

The Fa name argument specifies an area outside the process address space.

Bq Er 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.

Bq Er EINTR

The connection attempt was interrupted by the delivery of a signal. The connection will be established in the background, as in the case of Er EINPROGRESS .

Bq Er EALREADY

A previous connection attempt has not yet been completed.

Bq Er EACCES

An attempt is made to connect to a broadcast address (obtained through the INADDR_BROADCAST constant or the INADDR_NONE return value) through a socket that does not provide broadcast functionality.

Bq Er EAGAIN

An auto-assigned port number was requested but no auto-assigned ports are available. Increasing the port range specified by sysctl(3) MIB variables net.inet.ip.portrange.first and net.inet.ip.portrange.last may alleviate the problem.

The following errors are specific to connecting names in the UNIX domain. These errors may not apply in future versions of the UNIX IPC domain.

Bq Er ENOTDIR

A component of the path prefix is not a directory.

Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG

A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.

Bq Er ENOENT

The named socket does not exist.

Bq Er EACCES

Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.

Bq Er EACCES

Write access to the named socket is denied.

Bq Er ELOOP

Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
