socket_bind4(3)       DragonFly Library Functions Manual       socket_bind4(3)

NAME
       socket_bind4 - set the local IP address and port of a socket

SYNTAX
       #include <socket.h>

       int socket_bind4(int s,char ip[4],uint16 port);

DESCRIPTION
       socket_bind4 sets the local IP address and TCP/UDP port of a TCP/UDP
       socket s to ip and port respectively.

       If the IP address is 0.0.0.0, the operating system chooses a local IP
       address.  If port is 0, the operating system chooses a port.

       Normally socket_bind4 returns 0. If anything goes wrong, socket_bind4
       returns -1, setting errno appropriately.

EXAMPLE
         #include <socket.h>

         int s;
         char ip[4];
         uint16 p;

         s = socket_tcp4();
         socket_bind4(s,ip,p);
         socket_connect4(s,ip,p);
