# connect method




    *[<Null safety>](https://dart.dev/null-safety)*



- @override

int connect
(dynamic flags, int mode, [InterfaceRequest](../../package-fidl_fidl/InterfaceRequest-class.md) request, [dynamic parentFlags])

_<span class="feature override">override</span>_



<p>Connect to this vnode.
All flags and modes are defined in
<a href="https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/fuchsia/+/HEAD/sdk/fidl/fuchsia.io/">https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/fuchsia/+/HEAD/sdk/fidl/fuchsia.io/</a></p>
<p>By default param <code>#parentFlags</code> is all rights, so that open will allow
all rights requested on the incoming <code>request</code>.
This param is used by clone to restrict cloning.</p>



## Implementation

```dart
@override
int connect(OpenFlags flags, int mode, fidl.InterfaceRequest<Node> request,
    [OpenFlags? parentFlags]) {
  if (_closed) {
    sendErrorEvent(flags, ZX.ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED, request);
    return ZX.ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED;
  }
  final status = _validateFlagsAndMode(flags, mode);
  if (status != ZX.OK) {
    sendErrorEvent(flags, status, request);
    return status;
  }
  _connector(fidl.InterfaceRequest(request.passChannel()));

  return ZX.OK;
}
```
