Initiate a connection on a given socket.
Possible signatures:
socket.connect(options[, connectListener])socket.connect(path[, connectListener])forIPCconnections.socket.connect(port[, host][, connectListener])for TCP connections.- Returns:
net.SocketThe socket itself.
This function is asynchronous. When the connection is established, the 'connect' event will be emitted. If there is a problem connecting, instead of a 'connect' event, an 'error' event will be emitted with the error passed to the 'error' listener. The last parameter connectListener, if supplied, will be added as a listener for the 'connect' event once.
This function should only be used for reconnecting a socket after'close' has been emitted or otherwise it may lead to undefined behavior.
