gSocketConnect: gSocketConnect

In RGtk2: R Bindings for Gtk 2.8.0 and Above

Description

Connect the socket to the specified remote address.

Usage

gSocketConnect(object, address, cancellable = NULL, .errwarn = TRUE)

Arguments

object	a GSocket.
address	a GSocketAddress specifying the remote address.
cancellable	a GCancellable or NULL
.errwarn	Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

Details

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 gSocketSend 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 can then be checked with gSocketCheckConnectResult. Since 2.22

Value

A list containing the following elements:

retval	[logical] TRUE if connected, FALSE on error.
error	GError for error reporting, or NULL to ignore.
