<function>ifx_connect</function> establishes a connection to an
Informix server. All of the arguments are optional, and if
they're missing, defaults are taken from values supplied in <link
linkend="configuration.file">configuration file</link>
(ifx.default_host for the host (Informix libraries will use
<envar>INFORMIXSERVER</envar> environment value if not defined),
ifx.default_user for user, ifx.default_password for the password
(none if not defined).
</para>
<para>
In case a second call is made to
<function>ifx_connect</function> with the same arguments, no
new link will be established, but instead, the link identifier of
the already opened link will be returned.
</para>
<para>
The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of
the script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly calling
<function>ifx_close</function>.
