+.SH "NAME"
+zmq_connect \- connect a socket
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBint zmq_connect (void \fR\fB\fI*socket\fR\fR\fB, const char \fR\fB\fI*endpoint\fR\fR\fB);\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_connect()\fR function shall connect the socket referenced by the \fIsocket\fR argument to the endpoint specified by the \fIendpoint\fR argument\&.
+.sp
+The \fIendpoint\fR argument is a string consisting of two parts as follows: \fItransport\fR://\fIaddress\fR\&. The \fItransport\fR part specifies the underlying transport protocol to use\&. The meaning of the \fIaddress\fR part is specific to the underlying transport protocol selected\&.
+.sp
+The following transports are defined:
+.PP
+\fIinproc\fR
+.RS 4
+local in\-process (inter\-thread) communication transport, see
+\fBzmq_inproc\fR(7)
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIipc\fR
+.RS 4
+local inter\-process communication transport, see
+\fBzmq_ipc\fR(7)
+.RE
+.PP
+\fItcp\fR
+.RS 4
+unicast transport using TCP, see
+\fBzmq_tcp\fR(7)
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIpgm\fR, \fIepgm\fR
+.RS 4
+reliable multicast transport using PGM, see
+\fBzmq_pgm\fR(7)
+.RE
+.sp
+With the exception of \fIZMQ_PAIR\fR sockets, a single socket may be connected to multiple endpoints using \fIzmq_connect()\fR, while simultaneously accepting incoming connections from multiple endpoints bound to the socket using \fIzmq_bind()\fR\&. Refer to \fBzmq_socket\fR(3) for a description of the exact semantics involved when connecting or binding a socket to multiple endpoints\&.

+The connection will not be performed immediately but as needed by 0MQ\&. Thus a successful invocation of \fIzmq_connect()\fR does not indicate that a physical connection was or can actually be established\&.

+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_connect()\fR function shall return zero if successful\&. Otherwise it shall return \-1 and set \fIerrno\fR to one of the values defined below\&.
