<para>
Initiates a stream or datagram connection to the destination specified
by <parameter>remote_socket</parameter>. The type of socket created
is determined by the transport specified using standard url formatting:
<literal>transport://target</literal>. For Internet Domain sockets
(AF_INET) such as TCP and UDP, the <literal>target</literal> portion
of the <parameter>remote_socket</parameter> parameter should consist of
a hostname or IP address followed by a colon and a port number. For Unix
Domain sockets, the <parameter>target</parameter> portion should point
to the socket file on the filesystem.
The optional <parameter>timeout</parameter> can be used to
set a timeout in seconds for the connect system call.
<parameter>flags</parameter> is a bitmask field which may be set to any
combination of connection flags. Currently the selection of connection
flags is limited to <constant>STREAM_CLIENT_ASYNC_CONNECT</constant> and
<constant>STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT</constant>.
</para>
<note>
<simpara>
If you need to set a timeout for reading/writing data over the socket,
use <function>stream_set_timeout</function>, as the <parameter>timeout</parameter>
parameter to <function>stream_socket_client</function> only applies while
connecting the socket.
</simpara>
</note>
<para>
<function>stream_socket_client</function> returns a
stream resource which may
be used together with the other file functions (such as
<function>fgets</function>, <function>fgetss</function>,
<function>fputs</function>, <function>fclose</function>, and
<function>feof</function>).
</para>
<para>
If the call fails, it will return &false; and if the optional
<parameter>errno</parameter> and <parameter>errstr</parameter>
arguments are present they will be set to indicate the actual
system level error that occurred in the system-level
<literal>connect()</literal> call. If the value returned in
<parameter>errno</parameter> is <literal>0</literal> and the
function returned &false;, it is an indication that the error
occurred before the <literal>connect()</literal> call. This is
most likely due to a problem initializing the socket. Note that
the <parameter>errno</parameter> and
<parameter>errstr</parameter> arguments will always be passed by
reference.
</para>
<para>
Depending on the environment, the Unix domain or the optional
connect timeout may not be available. A list of available
transports can be retrieved using <function>stream_get_transports</function>.
</para>
<para>
The stream will by default be opened in blocking mode. You can
switch it to non-blocking mode by using
<function>stream_set_blocking</function>.

The example below shows how to retrieve the day and time
from the UDP service "daytime" (port 13) in your own machine.

<warning>
<simpara>
UDP sockets will sometimes appear to have opened without an error,
even if the remote host is unreachable. The error will only
become apparent when you read or write data to/from the socket.
The reason for this is because UDP is a "connectionless" protocol,
which means that the operating system does not try to establish
a link for the socket until it actually needs to send or receive data.
