SYNOPSIS
int xs_bind (void *socket, const char *endpoint);
DESCRIPTION
The xs_bind() function shall create an endpoint for accepting connections and bind it to the socket referenced by the socket argument.
The endpoint argument is a string consisting of two parts as follows: transport://address. The transport part specifies the underlying transport protocol to use. The meaning of the address part is specific to the underlying transport protocol selected.
The following transports are defined:
- inproc
-
local in-process (inter-thread) communication transport, see xs_inproc(7)
- ipc
-
local inter-process communication transport, see xs_ipc(7)
- tcp
-
unicast transport using TCP, see xs_tcp(7)
- pgm, epgm
-
reliable multicast transport using PGM, see xs_pgm(7)
With the exception of XS_PAIR sockets, a single socket may be connected to multiple endpoints using xs_connect(), while simultaneously accepting incoming connections from multiple endpoints bound to the socket using xs_bind(). Refer to xs_socket(3) for a description of the exact semantics involved when connecting or binding a socket to multiple endpoints.
RETURN VALUE
The xs_bind() function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1 and set errno to one of the values defined below.
ERRORS
- EINVAL
-
The endpoint supplied is invalid.
- EPROTONOSUPPORT
-
The requested transport protocol is not supported.
- ENOCOMPATPROTO
-
The requested transport protocol is not compatible with the socket type.
- EADDRINUSE
-
The requested address is already in use.
- EADDRNOTAVAIL
-
The requested address was not local.
- ENODEV
-
The requested address specifies a nonexistent interface.
- ETERM
-
The context associated with the specified socket was terminated.
- ENOTSOCK
-
The provided socket was invalid.
- EMTHREAD
-
No I/O thread is available to accomplish the task.
EXAMPLE
/* Create a XS_PUB socket */ void *socket = xs_socket (context, XS_PUB); assert (socket); /* Bind it to a in-process transport with the address 'my_publisher' */ int rc = xs_bind (socket, "inproc://my_publisher"); assert (rc == 0); /* Bind it to a TCP transport on port 5555 of the 'eth0' interface */ rc = xs_bind (socket, "tcp://eth0:5555"); assert (rc == 0);
