.SH DESCRIPTION
-.sp
.LP
The \fBbind()\fR function assigns a name to an unnamed socket. When a socket is
created with \fBsocket\fR(3SOCKET), it exists in a name space (address family)
but has no name assigned. The \fBbind()\fR function requests that the name
pointed to by \fIname\fR be assigned to the socket.
.SH RETURN VALUES

.LP
Upon successful completion \fB0\fR is returned. Otherwise, \fB\(mi1\fR is
returned and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.

.LP
Binding a name in the UNIX domain creates a socket in the file system that must
be deleted by the caller when it is no longer needed by using \fBunlink\fR(2).
