CAsyncSocket::Bind

Call this member function to associate a local address with the socket.

BOOL Bind( 
   UINT nSocketPort, 
   LPCTSTR lpszSocketAddress = NULL  
); 
BOOL Bind ( 
   const SOCKADDR* lpSockAddr, 
   int nSockAddrLen  
);

Parameters

  • nSocketPort
    The port identifying the socket application.

  • lpszSocketAddress
    The network address, a dotted number such as "128.56.22.8". Passing the NULL string for this parameter indicates the CAsyncSocket instance should listen for client activity on all network interfaces.

  • lpSockAddr
    A pointer to a SOCKADDR structure that contains the address to assign to this socket.

  • nSockAddrLen
    The length of the address in lpSockAddr in bytes.

Return Value

Nonzero if the function is successful; otherwise 0, and a specific error code can be retrieved by calling GetLastError. The following errors apply to this member function:

  • WSANOTINITIALISED   A successful AfxSocketInit must occur before using this API.

  • WSAENETDOWN   The Windows Sockets implementation detected that the network subsystem failed.

  • WSAEADDRINUSE    The specified address is already in use. (See the SO_REUSEADDR socket option under SetSockOpt.)

  • WSAEFAULT   The nSockAddrLen argument is too small (less than the size of a SOCKADDR structure).

  • WSAEINPROGRESS   A blocking Windows Sockets call is in progress.

  • WSAEAFNOSUPPORT   The specified address family is not supported by this port.

  • WSAEINVAL   The socket is already bound to an address.

  • WSAENOBUFS   Not enough buffers available, too many connections.

  • WSAENOTSOCK   The descriptor is not a socket.

Remarks

This routine is used on an unconnected datagram or stream socket, before subsequent Connect or Listen calls. Before it can accept connection requests, a listening server socket must select a port number and make it known to Windows Sockets by calling Bind. Bind establishes the local association (host address/port number) of the socket by assigning a local name to an unnamed socket.
