socket_bind6(3)		   Library Functions Manual	       socket_bind6(3)

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  ad-
       dress.  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);
