PRIV_BIND(3)                      Subroutines                     PRIV_BIND(3)


NAME

       priv_bind - bind a privileged port to a socket


SYNOPSIS

       #include <privman.h>

       int priv_bind(int sockfd, struct sockaddr *my_addr, socklen_t addrlen);


DESCRIPTION

       priv_bind gives the socket sockfd the local address my_addr.  my_addr
       is addrlen bytes long. Traditionally, this is called "assigning a name
       to a socket."  See bind(2) for more details, as this method parallels
       bind(2).


RETURN VALUE

       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned and errno is
       set appropriately.


ERRORS

       See bind(2) for more detail. In addition to the errors listed there,
       priv_bind may set errno to EPERM if the port is not listed in the
       application's Privman configuration file.


FILES

       ${prefix}/etc/privman.d/appname
              The application's configuration file.  See privman_conf(5)


BUGS

       priv_bind only supports IPv4
