explain_bind_or_die(3)	    Library Functions Manual	  explain_bind_or_die(3)

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 ex-
     plain_bind(3), and then the process terminates by	calling  exit(EXIT_FAIL-
     URE).

     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 ex-
	     planation and exits.
