When a socket is created with socket_create() it exists in a name space (address family) but has no name assigned. socket_bind() requests that the port be assigned to the socket s. <p> socket_bind() returns: <p> EESUCCESS on success. <p> a negative value indicated below on error. <p> ERRORS - These errors are in "socket_err.h" <p> <DL> <DT> <IMG SRC = http://www.imaginary.com/Graphics/Whiteball.gif> EEFDRANGE Descriptor out of range. <DT> <IMG SRC = http://www.imaginary.com/Graphics/Whiteball.gif> EEBADF Descriptor is invalid. <DT> <IMG SRC = http://www.imaginary.com/Graphics/Whiteball.gif> EESECURITY Security violation attempted. <DT> <IMG SRC = http://www.imaginary.com/Graphics/Whiteball.gif> EEISBOUND Socket is already bound. <DT> <IMG SRC = http://www.imaginary.com/Graphics/Whiteball.gif> EEADDRINUSE Address already in use. <DT> <IMG SRC = http://www.imaginary.com/Graphics/Whiteball.gif> EEBIND Problem with bind. <DT> <IMG SRC = http://www.imaginary.com/Graphics/Whiteball.gif> EEGETSOCKNAME Problem with getsockname. </DL> <p> See also: <A HREF=socket_connect.html> socket_connect </A>. <A HREF=socket_create.html> socket_create </A>, <A HREF=socket_listen.html> socket_listen </A> <p> <HR> <ADDRESS> <A HREF=http://wagner.princeton.edu/~tim> Tim Hollebeek </A> <p> <A HREF="http://www.imaginary.com/~beek/"> Beek </A>@ZorkMUD, Lima Bean, IdeaExchange, TMI-2, and elsewhere </ADDRESS> <p>
