connect Function

int connect(
    SOCKET s, 
    struct sockaddr* name, 
    int namelen
);

The connect function assigns the address of the peer communications endpoint. For stream sockets, connection is established between the endpoints. For datagram sockets, an address filter is established between the endpoints until changed with another connect() function.

socket function should be called.

If the connect() function succeeds, it returns 0. Otherwise, the value SOCKET_ERROR is returned to indicate an error condition. For stream based socket, if the connection is not established yet, connect returns SOCKET_CNXN_IN_PROGRESS.

None.
