# connect method




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




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





<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
int connect(OpenFlags flags, int mode, InterfaceRequest<Node> request,
    [OpenFlags? parentFlags]);
```
