+
+        senf::ppi::connect() establishes a connection between two modules or, to be more precise,
+        between two connectors. For enhanced usability, \a source and \a target may be a Connector,
+        a Module or a collection/subnetwork. Passing a Module or collection/subnetwork as \a source
+        will originate the connection on the \c output member of that Module or collection while
+        passing a module or collection/subnetwork as \a target will terminate the connection on that
+        Module or collections \c input member. For most simple modules, the specification of the
+        connector is therefore obsolete.
 
+        Furthermore, the connect() call may be extended by special modules (e.g. PassiveJoin which
+        allows an arbitrary of input connections).
