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 address.
     If port is 0, the operating system chooses a port.

     Normally socket_bind6 returns 0. If anything goes wrong,  socket_bind6  re-
     turns -1, setting errno appropriately.

     The scope_id should normally be zero, but for link-local addresses it spec-
     ifies  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);
