connect

Connect the socket to the specified remote address.

For connection oriented socket this generally means we attempt to make a connection to the address. For a connection-less socket it sets the default address for send and discards all incoming datagrams from other sources.

Generally connection oriented sockets can only connect once, but connection-less sockets can connect multiple times to change the default address.

If the connect call needs to do network I/O it will block, unless non-blocking I/O is enabled. Then g_io_error_pending is returned and the user can be notified of the connection finishing by waiting for the G_IO_OUT condition. The result of the connection must then be checked with check_connect_result .

Parameters:

this	a Socket.
address	a SocketAddress specifying the remote address.
cancellable	a gcancellable or null

Returns:

true if connected, false on error.
