Initiates a connection using the socket resource
socket
, which must be a valid socket
resource created with socket_create().
socket
address
The address
parameter is either an IP address
in dotted-quad notation (e.g. 127.0.0.1), if the
socket is of the AF_INET family; or the pathname
of a Unix domain socket, if the socket family is
AF_UNIX.
port
The port
parameter is only used when connecting
to an AF_INET socket, and designates the port on
the remote host to which a connection should be made.
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.
