# xpc_connection_create_from_endpoint(_:)

Creates a new connection from the specified endpoint.

## Declaration

```swift
func xpc_connection_create_from_endpoint(_ endpoint: xpc_endpoint_t) -> xpc_connection_t
```

## Parameters

- `endpoint`: The endpoint from which to create the new connection.

## Return Value

Return Value A new peer connection to the listener represented by the given endpoint.

## Discussion

Discussion The same responsibilities of setting an event handler and resuming the connection after calling xpc_connection_create(_:_:) apply to the connection returned by this API. Since the connection yielded by this API is not associated with a name (and therefore is not rediscoverable), this connection will receive XPC_ERROR_CONNECTION_INVALID if the listening side crashes, exits or cancels the listener connection.
