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.
