The <parameter>address</parameter> parameter is either an IPv4 address
in dotted-quad notation (e.g. <literal>127.0.0.1</literal>) if
<parameter>socket</parameter> is <constant>AF_INET</constant>, a valid
IPv6 address (e.g. <literal>::1</literal>) if IPv6 support is enabled and
<parameter>socket</parameter> is <constant>AF_INET6</constant>
or the pathname of a Unix domain socket, if the socket family is
<constant>AF_UNIX</constant>.

The <parameter>port</parameter> parameter is only used and is mandatory
when connecting to an <constant>AF_INET</constant> or an
<constant>AF_INET6</constant> socket, and designates
the port on the remote host to which a connection should be made.
