startConnect static method

Future<ConnectionTask<Socket>> startConnect(
  1. dynamic host,
  2. int port, {
  3. dynamic sourceAddress,
  4. int sourcePort = 0,
})

Like connect, but returns a Future that completes with a ConnectionTask that can be cancelled if the Socket is no longer needed.

Implementation

static Future<ConnectionTask<Socket>> startConnect(host, int port,
    {sourceAddress, int sourcePort = 0}) {
  final IOOverrides? overrides = IOOverrides.current;
  if (overrides == null) {
    return Socket._startConnect(host, port,
        sourceAddress: sourceAddress, sourcePort: sourcePort);
  }
  return overrides.socketStartConnect(host, port,
      sourceAddress: sourceAddress, sourcePort: sourcePort);
}
