The address
parameter is either an IPv4 address in dotted-quad notation (e.g. 127.0.0.1) if socket
is AF_INET
, a valid IPv6 address (e.g. ::1) if IPv6 support is enabled and socket
is AF_INET6
or the pathname of a Unix domain socket, if the socket family is AF_UNIX
.
The port

or an AF_INET6
socket, and designates the port on the remote host to which a connection should be made.
