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);
