Objects that describe one or more potential socket endpoints
implement GSocketConnectable. Callers can then use
gSocketConnectableEnumerate to get a GSocketAddressEnumerator
to try out each socket address in turn until one succeeds, as shown
in the sample code below.
connect_to_host <- function(hostname, port, cancellable)
{
addr <- gNetworkAddress(hostname, port)
enumerator <- addr$enumerate() ## Try each sockaddr until we succeed. conn <- NULL
while (is.null(conn) && (!is.null(sockaddr <- enumerator$next(cancellable))))
conn <- connect_to_sockaddr(sockaddr$retval) conn
}
