Socket 是网络协议栈暴露给编程人员的 API，相比复杂的计算机网络协议，API 对关键操作和配置数据进行了抽象，简化了程序编程。
本文讲述的 socket 内容源自 Linux man。本文主要对各 API 进行详细介绍，从而更好的理解 socket 编程。
connect
1.库
标准 c 库，libc, -lc2.头文件
<sys/socket.h>3.接口定义
int connect(int sockfd, const struct sockaddr *addr,
socklen_t addrlen);4.接口描述
connect() 系统调用在 sockfd 指定的 socket 上连接 addr 指定的地址，addrlen 参数指定了 addr 的大小，addr 地址格式取决于 socket 的地址空间，可以参考 socket(2)。
如果 socket 是 SOCK_DGRAM 类型，那么 addr 是发送报文的默认地址，也是唯一接收报文的地址。如果 socket 类型是 SOCK_STREAM 或者 SOCK_SEQPACKET，那么这个调用就是尝试和绑定了 addr 地址的 socket 建立连接。
一些协议套接字（比如 UNIX 流套接字）只能成功连接一次。
一些协议套接字（比如 UNIX TCP 套接字和网络数据报套接字）可以多次 connect() 来修改连接。
一些协议套接字（比如 UNIX TCP 套接字和网络数据报套接字）可以通过将 sockaddr 的 sa_family 设置为 AF_UNSPEC 来消除连接，之后 socket 就可以连接到其他地址了。（AF_UNSPEC 在 Linux 2.2 之后支持）。
5.返回值
如果连接或者绑定成功，那么返回 0。
发生错误时，返回 -1，并设置errno 来指示错误类型。
错误值定义如下（这里指示普通 socket 的错误，还可能存在 domain-specific 错误码）：
6.注意
如果 connect() 失败，那么套接字的状态是未知的。一个易于移植的程序应该关闭该套接字应该再创建一个新套接字，重新连接。
