#### Declaration [src]

    GSocketConnectable*
    g_network_address_new (
      const gchar* hostname,
      guint16 port
    )

#### Description [src]

Creates a new `GSocketConnectable` for connecting to the given `hostname` and `port`.

Note that depending on the configuration of the machine, a `hostname` of `localhost` may refer to the IPv4 loopback address only, or to both IPv4 and IPv6; use `g_network_address_new_loopback()` to create a `GNetworkAddress` that is guaranteed to resolve to both addresses.

`port`

  Type: `guint16`

#### Return value

Type: `GNetworkAddress`
