# BIND SOCKET

Syntax

Status = BIND SOCKET ( Handle, PortNumber) Status = BIND SOCKET ( Handle, IpAddress, PortNumber)

Description

This function associates a socket to a local address. If no IP address is specified, the socket will bind to all interfaces (in the case of a LISTEN SOCKET command) or force the choice a specific out-going interface (in the case of CONNECT SOCKET). If this command is not used on a socket, then the windows socket system will choose a free port number - this is usually desired for a connecting socket, but not for a listening socket. This function must be used on a socket before the socket is used for any purpose - if this is not done then the bind will fail. Returns 1 for connection successful, or 0 for a failure
