NAME

6       socket_bind6_reuse - set the local IP address and port of a socket
7

SYNTAX

9       #include <socket.h>
10
11       int socket_bind6_reuse(int s,char ip[16],uint16 port,
12                              uint32 scope_id);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       socket_bind6_reuse  sets  the  local  IP  address and TCP/UDP port of a
16       TCP/UDP 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_reuse   returns  0.  If  anything  goes  wrong,
22       socket_bind6_reuse 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.
27
28       Unlike socket_bind6 this function will also tell the  operating  system
29       that the address is to be reused soon, which turns off the normal pause
30       before this IP and port can be bound again.

EXAMPLE

33         #include <socket.h>
34
35         int s;
36         char ip[16];
37         uint16 p;
38
39         s = socket_tcp4();
40         socket_bind6_reuse(s,ip,p);
41         socket_connect4(s,ip,p);
