Socket onread described on wrong function

Description of the problem

socket.connect() is described as accepting the following option:

• onread {Object} If specified, incoming data is stored in a single buffer
  and passed to the supplied callback when data arrives on the socket.
  This will cause the streaming functionality to not provide any data.
  The socket will emit events like 'error', 'end', and 'close'
  as usual. Methods like pause() and resume() will also behave as
  expected.
  • buffer {Buffer|Uint8Array|Function} Either a reusable chunk of memory to
    use for storing incoming data or a function that returns such.
  • callback {Function} This function is called for every chunk of incoming
    data. Two arguments are passed to it: the number of bytes written to
    buffer and a reference to buffer. Return false from this function to
    implicitly pause() the socket. This function will be executed in the
    global context.

However, this is not correct, and is actually accepted only in the Socket() constructor:

node/lib/net.js

Line 454 in b4e8f1b

if (onread !== null && typeof onread === 'object' &&

The example given using net.connect() is still correct because the options "Will be passed to both the new net.Socket([options]) call and the socket.connect(options[, connectListener]) method."

Thanks for the report! If you have an improvement, feel free to submit a PR!

@lights0123 yes, it's still correct because net.connect(options[, connectListener]) create an instance of Socket(options) when it called

node/lib/net.js

Line 227 in b4e8f1b

const socket = new Socket(options);

I think a solution can be to move this function description to Socket class and mention on the net.connect(options[, connectListener]) part it's can be possible to use same onread object from Socket class constructor. Right ? @RedYetiDev what do you think about it ?
