# socketConnect method

Future<Socket> socketConnect (dynamic host, int port, { dynamic sourceAddress, Duration timeout })

Asynchronously returns a Socket connected to the given host and port.

When this override is installed, this functions overrides the behavior of `Socket.connect(...)`.

## Implementation

    Future<Socket> socketConnect(host, int port,
        {sourceAddress, Duration timeout}) {
      return Socket._connect(host, port,
          sourceAddress: sourceAddress, timeout: timeout);
    }
