+.Dt CONNECT 2
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm connect
+.Nd initiate a connection on a socket
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/socket.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn connect "int s" "const struct sockaddr *name" "socklen_t namelen"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The parameter
+.Fa s
+is a socket.
+If it is of type
+.Dv 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
+.Dv 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.
+.Fa namelen
+indicates the amount of space pointed to by
+.Fa name ,
+in bytes.
+Each communications space interprets the
+.Fa name
+parameter 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.
+.Pp
+If a
+.Fn connect
+call is interrupted by a signal, it will return with errno set to
+.Er EINTR
+and the connection attempt will proceed as if the socket was non-blocking.
+Subsequent calls to
+.Fn connect
+will set errno to
+.Er EALREADY .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If the connection or binding succeeds, 0 is returned.
+Otherwise a \-1 is returned, and a more specific error
+code is stored in
+.Va errno .
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn connect
+call fails if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EBADF
+.Fa s
+is not a valid descriptor.
+.It Bq Er ENOTSOCK
+.Fa s
+is a descriptor for a file, not a socket.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The socket address length passed was outside the allowable range.
+.It Bq Er EADDRNOTAVAIL
+The specified address is not available on this machine.
+.It Bq Er EAFNOSUPPORT
+Addresses in the specified address family cannot be used with this socket.
+.It Bq Er EISCONN
+The socket is already connected.
+.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
+Connection establishment timed out without establishing a connection.
+.It Bq Er ECONNREFUSED
+The attempt to connect was forcefully rejected.
+.It Bq Er ENETUNREACH
+The network isn't reachable from this host.
+.It Bq Er EADDRINUSE
+The address is already in use.
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+The
+.Fa name
+parameter specifies an area outside
+the process address space.
+.It Bq Er EINPROGRESS
+The socket is non-blocking and the connection cannot be completed immediately.
+It is possible to
+.Xr select 2
+or
+.Xr poll 2
+for completion by selecting or polling the socket for writing.
+The success or failure of the connect operation may be determined by using
+.Xr getsockopt 2
+to read the socket error status with the
+.Dv SO_ERROR
+option at the
+.Dv SOL_SOCKET
+level.
+The returned socket error status is zero on success, or one of the
+error codes listed here on failure.
+.It Bq Er EALREADY
+Either the socket is non-blocking mode or a previous call to
+.Fn connect
+was interrupted by a signal, and the connection attempt has not yet
+been completed.
+.It Bq Er EINTR
+The connection attempt was interrupted by a signal.
+.El
+.Pp
+The following errors are specific to connecting names in the
+.Ux
+domain.
+These errors may not apply in future versions of the
+.Ux
+IPC domain.
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
+A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
+.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
+A component of a pathname exceeded
+.Brq Dv NAME_MAX
+characters, or an entire path name exceeded
+.Brq Dv PATH_MAX
+characters.
+.It Bq Er ENOENT
+The named socket does not exist.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or
+write access to the named socket is denied.
+.It Bq Er ELOOP
+Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
