<p>The <em>bind()</em> function is used to associate a local address with a
|
||
|
socket.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> There are two versions of
|
||
|
the API, as shown above. The base i5/OS API uses BSD 4.3 structures and
|
||
|
syntax. The other uses syntax and structures compatible with the UNIX 98
|
||
|
programming interface specifications. You can select the UNIX 98 compatible
|
||
|
interface with the <a href="_xopen_source.htm">_XOPEN_SOURCE</a> macro.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<dl>
|
||
|
<dt><strong>socket_descriptor</strong></dt>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<dd>(Input) The descriptor of the socket that is to be bound.<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<dt><strong>local_address</strong></dt>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a buffer of type <strong>struct sockaddr</strong> that
|
||
|
contains the local address to which the socket is to be bound. The structure
|
||
|
<strong>sockaddr</strong> is defined in <strong><sys/socket.h></strong>.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The BSD 4.3 structure
|
||
|
is:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre>
|
||
|
struct sockaddr {
|
||
|
u_short sa_family;
|
||
|
char sa_data[14];
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The BSD 4.4/UNIX 98 compatible structure is:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre>
|
||
|
typedef uchar sa_family_t;
|
||
|
|
||
|
struct sockaddr {
|
||
|
uint8_t sa_len;
|
||
|
sa_family_t sa_family;
|
||
|
char sa_data[14];
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The BSD 4.4 <em>sa_len</em> field is the length of the address. The <em>sa_family</em> field identifies
|
||
|
the address family to which the address belongs, and <em>sa_data</em> is the
|
||
|
address whose format is dependent on the address family.</p>
|
||
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<dt><strong>address_length</strong></dt>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<dd>(Input) The length of the <em>local_address</em>.</dd>
|
||
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<h3>Authorities</h3>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>When the address type of the socket identified by the
|
||
|
<strong>socket_descriptor</strong> is AF_INET, the thread must have retrieve,
|
||
|
insert, delete, and update authority to the port specified by the
|
||
|
<strong>local_address</strong> field. When the thread does not have this level
|
||
|
of authority, an <em>errno</em> of EACCES is returned.<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li>When the address type of the socket identified by the
|
||
|
<strong>socket_descriptor</strong> is AF_INET and is running IP over SNA, the
|
||
|
thread must have retrieve, insert, delete, and update authority to the APPC
|
||
|
device. When the thread does not have this level of authority, an
|
||
|
<em>errno</em> of EACCES is returned.</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<h3>Return Value</h3>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p><em>bind()</em> returns an integer. Possible values are:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>-1 (unsuccessful)</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li>0 (successful)</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
following:</p>

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<ol>
|
||
|
<li>For sockets that use an address family of <samp>AF_UNIX</samp> or
|
||
|
<samp>AF_UNIX_CCSID</samp>, the following is applicable:<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>The process must have the following types of permission:
|
||
|
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>Create permission to the directory in which the entry is to be
|
||
|
created.</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li>Search permission along all the components of the path.</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Also, processes trying to establish a connection with the <em>connect()</em>
|
||
|
must have write access to the entry that is created.</p>
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li>For <samp>AF_UNIX</samp>, the path name is assumed to be in the default
|
||
|
coded character set identifier (CCSID) currently in effect for the job. For
|
||
|
<samp>AF_UNIX_CCSID</samp>, the path name is assumed to be in the format and
|
||
|
CCSID specified in the <strong>sockaddr_unc</strong> (pointed to by
|
||
|
<em>local_address</em>).<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li>When the socket is no longer needed, the caller should remove the file
|
||
|
system entry that was created by the <em>bind()</em> using the
|
||
|
<em>unlink()</em> or Qp0lunlink() system function.</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li>For sockets that use an address family of <samp>AF_INET</samp>, the
|
||
|
following is applicable:<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>The internet address structure <strong>sockaddr_in</strong> requires a
|
||
|
2-byte port number and a 32-bit IP address. You can have the system
|
||
|
automatically select a port number by setting the port number to 0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The BSD 4.3 structure
|
||
|
is:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre>
|
||
|
struct sockaddr_in {
|
||
|
short sin_family;
|
||
|
u_short sin_port;
|
||
|
struct in_addr sin_addr;
|
||
|
char sin_zero[8];
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The BSD 4.4/UNIX 98 compatible structure is:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre>
|
||
|
typedef uchar sa_family_t;
|
||
|
|
||
|
struct sockaddr_in {
|
||
|
uint8_t sin_len;
|
||
|
sa_family_t sin_family;
|
||
|
u_short sin_port;
|
||
|
struct in_addr sin_addr;
|
||
|
char sin_zero[8];
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The BSD 4.4 <em>sin_len</em> field is the length of the address. The <em>sin_family</em> is the address
|
||
|
family (always AF_INET for TCP and UDP), <em>sin_port</em> is the port number,
|
||
|
and <em>sin_addr</em> is the internet address. The <em>sin_zero</em> field is
|
||
|
reserved and must be hex zeros.</p>
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li>A wildcard address is provided (<samp>INADDR_ANY</samp> defined in
|
||
|
<strong><netinet/in.h></strong>) that allows an application to receive
|
||
|
messages directed to a specified port independent of the IP address that was
|
||
|
specified. If a local IP address is specified, only data received on that IP
|
||
|
address is made available. <samp>INADDR_ANY</samp> must be used to receive data
|
||
|
from multiple local interface definitions.</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li> For sockets that use an
|
||
|
address family of <samp>AF_INET6</samp>, the following is applicable:<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>The internet address structure <strong>sockaddr_in6</strong> requires a
|
||
|
2-byte port number and a 128-bit IP address. You can have the system
|
||
|
automatically select a port number by setting the port number to 0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The BSD 4.3 structure is:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre>
|
||
|
typedef unsigned short sa_family_t;
|
||
|
typedef unsigned short in_port_t;
|
||
|
|
||
|
struct sockaddr_in6 {
|
||
|
sa_family_t sin6_family;
|
||
|
in_port_t sin6_port;
|
||
|
uint32_t sin6_flowinfo;
|
||
|
struct in6_addr sin6_addr;
|
||
|
uint32_t sin6_scope_id;
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The BSD 4.4/UNIX 98 compatible structure is:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre>
|
||
|
typedef uchar sa_family_t;
|
||
|
typedef unsigned short in_port_t;
|
||
|
|
||
|
struct sockaddr_in6 {
|
||
|
uint8_t sin6_len;
|
||
|
sa_family_t sin6_family;
|
||
|
in_port_t sin6_port;
|
||
|
uint32_t sin6_flowinfo;
|
||
|
struct in6_addr sin6_addr;
|
||
|
uint32_t sin6_scope_id;
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The BSD 4.4 <em>sin6_len</em> field is the length of the address. The
|
||
|
<em>sin6_family</em> is the address family (AF_INET6 in this case),
|
||
|
<em>sin6_port</em> is the port number, and <em>sin6_addr</em> is the internet
|
||
|
address. The <em>sin6_flowinfo</em> field contains two pieces of information:
|
||
|
the traffic class and the flow label. Note: This field is currently not
|
||
|
supported and should be set to zero for upward compatibility. The
|
||
|
<em>sin6_scope_id</em> field identifies a set of interfaces as appropriate for
|
||
|
the scope of the address carried in the <em>sin6_addr</em> field. Note: This
|
||
|
field is currently not supported and should be set to zero for upward
|
||
|
compatibility.</p>
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li>A wildcard address is provided that allows an application to receive
|
||
|
messages directed to a specified port independent of the IP address that was
|
||
|
specified. Since the IPv6 address type is a structure (<samp>struct
|
||
|
in6_addr</samp>), a symbolic constant can be used to initialize an IPv6 address
|
||
|
variable, but cannot be used in an assignment. Therfore, the IPv6 wildcard
|
||
|
address is provided in two forms as defined in
|
||
|
<strong><netinet/in.h></strong>. The first version is a global variable
|
||
|
named <samp>in6addr_any</samp>. This version is used similarly to the way
|
||
|
applications use the <samp>INADDR_ANY</samp> in IPv4 as defined above and must
|
||
|
be used for structure assignment. The other version is a symbolic constant
|
||
|
named <samp>IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT</samp>. This version may be used to initialize an
|
||
|
<samp>in6_addr</samp> structure. If a local IP address is specified, only data
|
||
|
received on that IP address is made available. The wildcard address must be
|
||
|
used to receive data from multiple local interface definitions.</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li>When you develop in C-based
|
||
|
languages and an application is compiled with the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro defined
|
||
|
to the value 520 or greater, the <em>bind()</em> API is mapped to
|
||
|
<em>qso_bind98()</em>.</li>
|
||
|
