[Diagram]
Diag.: corner

The intention of White 6 is, quite obviously, to build influence toward the center. White is however granting Black quite a large corner territory.


[Diagram]
Diag.: joseki

The joseki continues with Black 1 through Black 7. Black takes the corner territory, White gets influence towards the top and the center.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Sente? (Black 3 tenuki, Black 9 connects)

Black 1 instead of Black 5 from the previous diagram might seem better, taking sente, but if Black actually does play tenuki, White 4 through 10 gouges out Black's corner. Taking away the corner territory (and even the eyespace) is larger than a black move elsewhere would be.
