+.fi +.SH DESCRIPTION +When a socket is created with +.BR socket (2), +it exists in a name space (address family) but has no address assigned to it. +.BR bind () +assigns the address specified by +.I addr +to the socket referred to by the file descriptor +.IR sockfd . +.I addrlen +specifies the size, in bytes, of the address structure pointed to by +.IR addr . +Traditionally, this operation is called \[lq]assigning a name to a socket\[rq]. +.PP +It is normally necessary to assign a local address using +.BR bind () +before a +.B SOCK_STREAM +socket may receive connections (see +.BR accept (2)). +.PP +The rules used in name binding vary between address families. +Consult the manual entries in Section 7 for detailed information. +For +.BR AF_INET , +see +.BR ip (7);

+and for +.BR AF_NETLINK , +see +.BR netlink (7). +.PP +The actual structure passed for the +.I addr +argument will depend on the address family. +The +.I sockaddr +structure is defined as something like: +.PP +.in +4n +.EX +struct sockaddr { + sa_family_t sa_family; + char sa_data[14]; +} +.EE +.in +.PP +The only purpose of this structure is to cast the structure +pointer passed in +.I addr +in order to avoid compiler warnings. +See EXAMPLES below. +.SH RETURN VALUE +On success, zero is returned. +On error, \-1 is returned, and +.I errno +is set to indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +.TP +.B EACCES +.\" e.g., privileged port in AF_INET domain +The address is protected, and the user is not the superuser. +.TP +.B EADDRINUSE +The given address is already in use. +.TP +.B EADDRINUSE +(Internet domain sockets) +The port number was specified as zero in the socket address structure, +but, upon attempting to bind to an ephemeral port, +it was determined that all port numbers in the ephemeral port range +are currently in use. +See the discussion of +.I /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range +.BR ip (7). +.TP +.B EBADF +.I sockfd +is not a valid file descriptor. +.TP +.B EINVAL +The socket is already bound to an address. +.\" This may change in the future: see +.\" .I linux/unix/sock.c for details. +.TP +.B EINVAL +.I addrlen +is wrong, or +.I addr +is not a valid address for this socket's domain. +.TP +.B ENOTSOCK +The file descriptor +.I sockfd +does not refer to a socket. +.PP +The following errors are specific to UNIX domain +.RB ( AF_UNIX ) +sockets: +.TP +.B EACCES +Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix. +(See also +.BR path_resolution (7).) +.TP +.B EADDRNOTAVAIL +A nonexistent interface was requested or the requested +address was not local. +.TP +.B EFAULT +.I addr +points outside the user's accessible address space. +.TP +.B ELOOP +Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving +.IR addr . +.TP +.B ENAMETOOLONG +.I addr +is too long. +.TP +.B ENOENT +A component in the directory prefix of the socket pathname does not exist. +.TP +.B ENOMEM +Insufficient kernel memory was available. +.TP +.B ENOTDIR +A component of the path prefix is not a directory. +.TP +.B EROFS +The socket inode would reside on a read-only filesystem. +.SH STANDARDS +POSIX.1-2008. +.SH HISTORY +POSIX.1-2001, SVr4, 4.4BSD +.RB ( bind () +first appeared in 4.2BSD). +.\" SVr4 documents an additional +.\" .B ENOSR +.\" general error condition, and +.\" additional +.\" .B EIO +.\" and +.\" .B EISDIR +.\" UNIX-domain error conditions. +.SH BUGS +The transparent proxy options are not described. +.\" FIXME Document transparent proxy options +.SH EXAMPLES +An example of the use of +.BR bind () +with Internet domain sockets can be found in +.BR getaddrinfo (3). +.PP +The following example shows how to bind a stream socket in the UNIX +.RB ( AF_UNIX ) +domain, and accept connections: +.\" listen.7 refers to this example. +.\" accept.7 refers to this example. +.\" unix.7 refers to this example. +.PP +.\" SRC BEGIN (bind.c) +.EX +#include <stdio.h> +#include <stdlib.h> +#include <string.h> +#include <sys/socket.h> +#include <sys/un.h> +#include <unistd.h> +\& +#define MY_SOCK_PATH "/somepath" +#define LISTEN_BACKLOG 50 +\& +#define handle_error(msg) \e + do { perror(msg);
