NAME

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

SYNTAX

       #include <socket.h>

       int socket_bind6_reuse(int s,char ip[16],uint16 port,
                              uint32 scope_id);

DESCRIPTION

       socket_bind6_reuse  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_reuse  returns  0.  If anything goes wrong, socket_bind6_reuse 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.

       Unlike socket_bind6 this function will also tell the operating system that the address is  to  be  reused
       soon, which turns off the normal pause before this IP and port can be bound again.

EXAMPLE

         #include <socket.h>

         int s;
         char ip[16];
         uint16 p;

         s = socket_tcp4();
         socket_bind6_reuse(s,ip,p);
         socket_connect4(s,ip,p);
