Properties:

• public abstract SocketConnectable connectable { owned get; set; }
• public abstract bool host_reachable { get; }

Methods:

• public async bool can_reach (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Asynchronously attempts to determine whether or not the host described by this's connectable property can be reached, without actually trying to connect to it.
• public bool can_reach_sync (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Attempts to determine whether or not the host described by this's connectable property can be reached, without actually trying to connect to it.
• public abstract IOStream connect_sync (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Attempts to establish a network connection to the server described by this, using the preferred security_method to secure the connection.
• public abstract uint16 get_default_port (NetworkSecurityMethod method)
  Returns the default network port number for this and the security method method, as defined in /etc/services.
• public bool get_host_reachable ()
  Returns true if this believes that the host pointed to by connectable can be reached.
• public abstract unowned string? get_service_name (NetworkSecurityMethod method)
  Returns the standard network service name for this and the security method method, as defined in /etc/services.
• public abstract unowned SocketConnectable new_connectable ()
• public SocketConnectable ref_connectable ()
  Returns the socket endpoint for the network service to which this is a client.
• public void set_connectable (SocketConnectable? connectable)
  Sets the socket endpoint for the network service to which this is a client.
• public IOStream? starttls (IOStream base_stream) throws Error
  Creates a TlsClientConnection wrapping base_stream, which is assumed to communicate with the server identified by this's connectable.
