socket_bind6_reuse(3)	    Library Functions Manual	   socket_bind6_reuse(3)

NAME
     socket_bind6_reuse - set the local IP address and port of a socket

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/socket.h>

     int socket_bind6_reuse(int s,char ip[16],uint16 port,
			    uint32 scope_id);

DESCRIPTION
     socket_bind6_reuse  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_reuse   returns   0.   If	 anything   goes  wrong,
     socket_bind6_reuse returns -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.

     Unlike  socket_bind6 this function will also tell the operating system that
     the address is to be reused soon, which turns off the normal  pause  before
     this IP and port can be bound again.

EXAMPLE
       #include <libowfat/socket.h>

       int s;
       char ip[16];
       uint16 p;

       s = socket_tcp4();
       socket_bind6_reuse(s,ip,p);
       socket_connect4(s,ip,p);
