bind(2)                    DG/UX 4.30                     bind(2)



     NAME
          bind - Bind a name to a socket.

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <sys/socket.h>

          int   bind  (s, name, namelen)
          int             s;
          struct sockaddr * name;
          int             namelen;

     PARAMETERS
          s              Socket to bind.


          name           Name to bind to socket.


          namelen        Length of name (bytes).

     DESCRIPTION
          Bind requests that address <name>, be bound to socket <s>.

          The rules for name binding vary between communication
          domains.  Consult the related documentation for a specific
          domain for details about that domain.

          Binding a name in the UNIX domain creates a file of type
          S_IFSOCK (socket special) in the file system that the caller
          must delete when it is no longer needed (using unlink).  The
          file created is a side-effect of the current implementation,
          and may not be created in future versions of the UNIX IPC
          domain.

     ACCESS CONTROL
          None. (See related domain specific information for
          restrictions on names.)

     RETURN VALUE
          0              The call was successful.


          -1             An error occurred.  Errno is set to indicate
                         the error.

     EXCEPTIONS
          Errno may be set to one of the following error codes:


          EBADF          <s> is not an active valid descriptor.

          ENOTSOCK       <s> is not a socket.


          EADDRNOTAVAIL  The address is not a valid address for the
                         local machine.


          EADDRINUSE     The address is already in use.


          EINVAL         The socket is already bound to an address.


          EACCES         The requested address is protected, and the
                         current user has inadequate privilege to
                         access it.  Privilege is determined by the
                         euid of the process when the socket was
                         created.


          EFAULT         The <name> parameter is not in a valid part
                         of the user address space.


          ENOBUFS        No internal buffers available.


          EISCONN        Socket is already connected.
