socket_bind6(3)socket_bind6(3)NAME
socket_bind6 - set the local IP address and port of a socket
SYNTAX
#include <socket.h>
int socket_bind6(int s, char ip[16], uint16 port,
uint32 scope_id);
DESCRIPTION
socket_bind6 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 ::, the operating system chooses a local IP
address. If port is 0, the operating system chooses a port.
Normally socket_bind6 returns 0. If anything goes wrong, socket_bind6
returns -1, setting errno appropriately.
The scope_id should normally be zero, but for link-local addresses it
specifies the interface number on which to bind. The interface number
for a given network interface name can be found with socket_getifidx.
EXAMPLE
#include <socket.h>
int s;
char ip[16];
uint16 p;
uint32 scope_id;
s = socket_tcp6();
socket_bind6(s,ip,p,scope_id);
socket_connect6(s,ip,p);
