NAME

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

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/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 <libowfat/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);
