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);
