SYNOPSIS

9       #include <libexplain/bind.h>

11       int sock_addr_size);

DESCRIPTION

14       The explain_bind_or_die function is used to  call  the  bind(2)  system
15       call.   On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
16       from explain_bind(3),  and  then  the  process  terminates  by  calling
17       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
18
19       This  function  is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the fol‐
20       lowing example:
21              explain_bind_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size);
22
23       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the bind(2) system call.

25       sock_addr
26               The sock_addr, exactly as to be passed to  the  bind(2)  system
27               call.
28
29       sock_addr_size
30               The sock_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the bind(2) sys‐
31               tem call.
32
33       Returns:
34               This function only returns on success.  On failure,  prints  an
35               explanation and exits.
