Description

Try to get the remote address of a socket connection.

Since GLib 2.40, when used with g_socket_client_connect() or g_socket_client_connect_async(), during emission of G_SOCKET_CLIENT_CONNECTING, this function will return the remote address that will be used for the connection. This allows applications to print e.g. “Connecting to example.com (10.42.77.3)…”.
