NAME

6       socket_bind6 - set the local IP address and port of a socket
7

SYNTAX

9       #include <socket.h>
10
11       int socket_bind6(int s, char ip[16], uint16 port,
12                        uint32 scope_id);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       socket_bind6  sets  the  local IP address and TCP/UDP port of a TCP/UDP
16       socket s to ip and port respectively.
17
18       If the IP address is ::,  the  operating  system  chooses  a  local  IP
19       address.  If port is 0, the operating system chooses a port.
20
21       Normally  socket_bind6  returns 0. If anything goes wrong, socket_bind6
22       returns -1, setting errno appropriately.
23
24       The scope_id should normally be zero, but for link-local  addresses  it
25       specifies  the interface number on which to bind.  The interface number
26       for a given network interface name can be found with socket_getifidx.

EXAMPLE

29         #include <socket.h>
30
31         int s;
32         char ip[16];
33         uint16 p;
34         uint32 scope_id;
35
36         s = socket_tcp6();
37         socket_bind6(s,ip,p,scope_id);
38         socket_connect6(s,ip,p);
