.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\&.

.sp
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\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
.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\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.PP
\fBEINVAL\fR
.RS 4
The endpoint supplied is invalid\&.

.PP
\fBEPROTONOSUPPORT\fR
.RS 4

\fItransport\fR
protocol is not supported\&.
.RE

\fBENOCOMPATPROTO\fR
.RS 4
The requested
\fItransport\fR
protocol is not compatible with the socket type\&.

\fIcontext\fR
associated with the specified
\fIsocket\fR

\fBConnecting a subscriber socket to an in-process and a TCP transport\fR.
