Socket.Connect (gb.net)

Sub Connect ( [ HostOrPath As String, Port As Integer ] )

Use this method to establish a TCP or Local (Unix) connection with a remote TCP or Local server.

You can use this method only when Status value is zero or lesser than zero (previous error), otherwise an error will raise.

Local connection

To start an Unix connection you will only pass the first argument:
  • HostOrPath is the UNIX socket path to connect to. (Relative paths are allowed here).

Network connection

To start a TCP connection you have to pass the two arguments:
  • HostOrPath is the host name, or host IP to connect to.

  • Port is the number of the TCP port to connect to (1 - 65535).
