Name
socket_bind() - bind a name to a socket
Synopsis
#include <socket_errors.h>
int socket_bind( int s, int port );
Description
socket_bind() assigns a name to an unnamed socket. When a socket is created with socket_create() it exists in a name space (address family) but has no name assigned. socket_bind() requests that `port' be assigned to the socket `s'.
socket_bind() returns EESUCCESS on success, and a negative value indicated below on error.
