This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig standard library. Public Function

connect

Doc Source

Public Function

std.http.Client.connect

pub fn connect(
    client: *Client,
    host: HostName,
    port: u16,
    protocol: Protocol,
) ConnectError!*Connection

Connect to host:port using the specified protocol. This will reuse a connection if one is already open.

If a proxy is configured for the client, then the proxy will be used to connect to the host.

This function is threadsafe.

Params

client: *Client
host: HostName
port: u16
protocol: Protocol

File

http/Client.zig:1600
