if [ "$connect" == n -o "$connect" == N -o "$connect" == no -o "$connect" == No -o "$connect" == NO ]; then
or preferrably this:
if [ "$connect" == n ]||[ "$connect" == N ]||[ "$connect" == no ]||[ "$connect" == No ]||[ "$connect" == NO ]; then
@Scrutinizer In both cases the above syntax will only work with bash.
In unix "Posix" shells there is no "==" operator.
I agree that the "case" solution is the best.

NAME
explain_connect_or_die - initiate a connection on a socket and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/connect.h>
void explain_connect_or_die(int fildes, const struct sockaddr *serv_addr, int serv_addr_size);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_connect_or_die function is used to call the connect(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
obtained from explain_connect(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
explain_connect_or_die(fildes, serv_addr, serv_addr_size);
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the connect(2) system call.
serv_addr
The serv_addr, exactly as to be passed to the connect(2) system call.
serv_addr_size
The serv_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the connect(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
