NAME

       explain_bind_or_die - bind a name to a socket and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/bind.h>
       void explain_bind_or_die(int fildes, const struct sockaddr *sock_addr, int sock_addr_size);

DESCRIPTION

       The explain_bind_or_die function is used to call the bind(2) system call.  On failure an explanation will
       be  printed  to  stderr,  obtained  from  explain_bind(3),  and  then  the  process terminates by calling
       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
              explain_bind_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size);

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the bind(2) system call.

       sock_addr
               The sock_addr, exactly as to be passed to the bind(2) system call.

       sock_addr_size
               The sock_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the bind(2) system call.

       Returns:
               This function only returns on success.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
