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 g_socket_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 g_socket_check_connect_result().
