Bind

Bind a socket to an address (deprecated).

Declaration

Source position: sockets.pp line 66

Description

Bind binds the socket Sock to address Addr. Addr has length Addrlen. The function returns True if the call was succesful, False if not.

The form of the Bind command with the TUnixSockAddr is equivalent to subsequently calling Str2UnixSockAddr and the regular Bind function. The function returns True if successfull, False otherwise.

Errors

Errors are returned in SocketError and include the following:

SYS_EBADF

The socket descriptor is invalid.

SYS_EINVAL

The socket is already bound to an address,

SYS_EACCESS

Address is protected and you don't have permission to open it.

More arrors can be found in the Unix man pages.
