+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+After creating a TLS client context with
+.Xr tls_client 3
+and configuring it with
+.Xr tls_configure 3 ,
+a client connection is initiated by calling
+.Fn tls_connect .
+This function will create a new socket, connect to the specified
+.Fa host
+and
+.Fa port ,
+and then establish a secure connection.
+The
+.Fa port
+may be numeric or a service name.
+If it is
+.Dv NULL ,
+then a
+.Fa host
+of the format "hostname:port" is permitted.
+The name to use for verification is inferred from the
+.Ar host
+value.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn tls_connect_servername
+function has the same behaviour, however the name to use for verification is
+explicitly provided, for the case where the TLS server name differs from the
+DNS name.
+.Pp
+An already existing socket can be upgraded to a secure connection by calling
+.Fn tls_connect_socket .
+.Pp
+Alternatively, a secure connection can be established over a pair of existing
+file descriptors by calling
+.Fn tls_connect_fds .
+.Pp
+Calling
+.Fn tls_connect_cbs
+allows read and write callback functions to handle data transfers.
+The specified cb_arg parameter is passed back to the functions,
+and can contain a pointer to any caller-specified data.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+These functions return 0 on success or -1 on error.
