+.SH NAME
+bind \- bind a name to a socket
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <sys/socket.h>
+.br
+.sp
+int bind(int\fP \fIsocket\fP\fB, const struct sockaddr *\fP\fIaddress\fP\fB,
+.br
+\ \ \ \ \ \  socklen_t\fP \fIaddress_len\fP\fB);
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIbind\fP() function shall assign a local socket address \fIaddress\fP
+to a socket identified by descriptor \fIsocket\fP
+that has no local socket address assigned. Sockets created with the
+\fIsocket\fP() function
+are initially unnamed; they are identified only by their address family.
+.LP
+The \fIbind\fP() function takes the following arguments:
+.TP 7
+\fIsocket\fP
+Specifies the file descriptor of the socket to be bound.
+.TP 7
+\fIaddress\fP
+Points to a \fBsockaddr\fP structure containing the address to be
+bound to the socket. The length and format of the address
+depend on the address family of the socket.
+.TP 7
+\fIaddress_len\fP
+Specifies the length of the \fBsockaddr\fP structure pointed to by
+the \fIaddress\fP argument.
+.sp
+.LP
+The socket specified by \fIsocket\fP may require the process to have
+appropriate privileges to use the \fIbind\fP()
+function.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIbind\fP() shall return 0; otherwise,
+-1 shall be returned and \fIerrno\fP set to indicate the
+error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIbind\fP() function shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EADDRINUSE
+The specified address is already in use.
+.TP 7
+.B EADDRNOTAVAIL
+The specified address is not available from the local machine.
+.TP 7
+.B EAFNOSUPPORT
+The specified address is not a valid address for the address family
+of the specified socket.
+.TP 7
+.B EBADF
+The \fIsocket\fP argument is not a valid file descriptor.
+.TP 7
+.B EINVAL
+The socket is already bound to an address, and the protocol does not
+support binding to a new address; or the socket has been
+shut down.
+.TP 7
+.B ENOTSOCK
+The \fIsocket\fP argument does not refer to a socket.
+.TP 7
+.B EOPNOTSUPP
+The socket type of the specified socket does not support binding to
+an address.
+.sp
+.LP
+If the address family of the socket is AF_UNIX, then \fIbind\fP()
+shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EACCES
+A component of the path prefix denies search permission, or the requested
+name requires writing in a directory with a mode that
+denies write permission.
+.TP 7
+.B EDESTADDRREQ \fRor\fP EISDIR
+The \fIaddress\fP argument is a null pointer.
+.TP 7
+.B EIO
+An I/O error occurred.
+.TP 7
+.B ELOOP
+A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the
+pathname in \fIaddress\fP.
+.TP 7
+.B ENAMETOOLONG
+A component of a pathname exceeded {NAME_MAX} characters, or an entire
+pathname exceeded {PATH_MAX} characters.
+.TP 7
+.B ENOENT
+A component of the pathname does not name an existing file or the
+pathname is an empty string.
+.TP 7
+.B ENOTDIR
+A component of the path prefix of the pathname in \fIaddress\fP is
+not a directory.
+.TP 7
+.B EROFS
+The name would reside on a read-only file system.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fIbind\fP() function may fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EACCES
+The specified address is protected and the current user does not have
+permission to bind to it.
+.TP 7
+.B EINVAL
+The \fIaddress_len\fP argument is not a valid length for the address
+family.
+.TP 7
+.B EISCONN
+The socket is already connected.
+.TP 7
+.B ELOOP
+More than {SYMLOOP_MAX} symbolic links were encountered during resolution
+of the pathname in \fIaddress\fP.
+.TP 7
+.B ENAMETOOLONG
+Pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate result
+whose length exceeds {PATH_MAX}.
+.TP 7
+.B ENOBUFS
+Insufficient resources were available to complete the call.
+.sp
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+An application program can retrieve the assigned socket name with
+the \fIgetsockname\fP() function.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
