 * @short_description: Interface for potential socket endpoints
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 *
 * Objects that describe one or more potential socket endpoints
 * implement #GSocketConnectable. Callers can then use
 * g_socket_connectable_enumerate() to get a #GSocketAddressEnumerator
 * to try out each socket address in turn until one succeeds, as shown
 * in the sample code below.
