     s32 s,
     const SockAddrIn * sockAddr
);

Arguments

Name Description
in s Specifies the socket descriptor. Specify a socket descriptor created using the Socket function.
in sockAddr Specify a pointer to a socket address structure (SockAddrIn) with information about the address to assign.

Return Values



Value Description
0 Process was successful.
EADDRINUSE The socket address you tried to assign is already being used.
EAFNOSUPPORT The protocol family of the socket does not support the specified address.
EBADF The socket descriptor is invalid.
EINVAL Indicates an illegal call of one of the following. The socket address specified in sockAddr is invalid. The specified socket cannot be used by this process because it is being used for another purpose (for example, the address is already assigned).
ENETDOWN The network is not available.
ENETRESET Socket library is not initialized.
ENOMEM Cannot allocate the memory required for the process.

Description

Allocates a local socket address to a socket.

The local socket address is the address on the communication source side. A socket created using the Socket function is not initially bound to any address. This function fails if the specified socket descriptor is already bound. You can get the allocated local socket address with GetSockName.
