| 3 | ---- | ||
| 4 | !!NAME | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | bind - bind a name to a socket | ||
| 7 | !!SYNOPSIS | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | __#include <sys/types.h>__ | ||

| 1 | perry | 14 | |
| 15 | !!DESCRIPTION | ||
| 3 | PerryLorier | 16 | __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.'' When a socket is created with socket(2), it |
| 17 | exists in a name space (address family) but has no name assigned. | ||
| 1 | perry | 18 | |
| 3 | PerryLorier | 19 | It is normally necessary to assign a local address using __bind__ before a __SOCK_STREAM__ socket may receive connections (see accept(2)). |

| 21 | !!NOTES | ||
| 3 | PerryLorier | 22 | The rules used in name binding vary between address families. Consult the manual entries in Section 7 for detailed information. For __AF_INET__ see ip(7), for __AF_UNIX__ see unix(7), for __AF_APPLETALK__ see ddp(7), for __AF_PACKET__ see packet(7), for __AF_X25__ see x25(7) and for __AF_NETLINK__ see netlink(7). |

| 24 | !!RETURN VALUE | ||
| 3 | PerryLorier | 25 | On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and ''errno'' is set appropriately. |
| 1 | perry | 26 | !!ERRORS |
| 27 | |||
| 3 | PerryLorier | 28 | ;[EBADF]: ''sockfd'' is not a valid descriptor. |
| 29 | ;[EINVAL]: The socket is already bound to an address. This may change in the future: see ''linux/unix/sock.c'' for details. | ||
| 30 | ;[EACCES]: The address is protected, and the user is not the super-user. | ||
| 31 | ;[ENOTSOCK]: Argument is a descriptor for a file, not a socket. | ||
| 1 | perry | 32 | |
| 33 | The following errors are specific to UNIX domain (__AF_UNIX__) sockets: | ||
| 34 | |||
| 3 | PerryLorier | 35 | ;[EINVAL]: The ''addrlen'' is wrong, or the socket was not in the __AF_UNIX__ family. |
| 36 | ;[EROFS]: The socket inode would reside on a read-only file system. | ||
| 37 | ;[EFAULT]: ''my_addr'' points outside the user's accessible address space. | ||
| 38 | ;[ENAMETOOLONG]: ''my_addr'' is too long. | ||
| 39 | ;[ENOENT]: The file does not exist. | ||
| 40 | ;[ENOMEM]: Insufficient kernel memory was available. | ||
| 41 | ;[ENOTDIR]: A component of the path prefix is not a directory. | ||
| 42 | ;[EACCES]: Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix. | ||
| 43 | ;[ELOOP]: Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving ''my_addr''. | ||

| 3 | PerryLorier | 46 | The transparent proxy options are not described. |

| 48 | !!CONFORMING TO | ||
| 3 | PerryLorier | 49 | SVr4, 4.4BSD (the __bind__ function first appeared in BSD 4.2). SVr4 documents additional [EADDRNOTAVAIL], [EADDRINUSE], and [ENOSR] general error conditions, and additional [EIO] and [EISDIR] |
| 50 | Unix-domain error conditions. | ||
| 1 | perry | 51 | |
| 52 | !!NOTE | ||
| 3 | PerryLorier | 53 | The third argument of __bind__ is in reality an int (and this is what BSD 4.* and libc4 and libc5 have). Some POSIX confusion resulted in the present socklen_t. The draft standard has not been adopted yet, but glibc2 already follows it and also has socklen_t. See also accept(2). |
