BINDRESVPORT(3) | Linux Programmer's Manual | BINDRESVPORT(3) |
NAME¶
bindresvport - bind a socket to a privileged IP portSYNOPSIS¶
#include <sys/types.h> #include <netinet/in.h>
int bindresvport(int sockfd, struct sockaddr_in *sin);
DESCRIPTION¶
bindresvport() is used to bind a socket descriptor to a privileged anonymous IP port, that is, a port number arbitrarily selected from the range 512 to 1023.RETURN VALUE¶
bindresvport() returns 0 on success; otherwise -1 is returned and errno set to indicate the cause of the error.ERRORS¶
bindresvport() can fail for any of the same reasons as bind(2). In addition, the following errors may occur:- EACCES
- The caller did not have superuser privilege (to be precise: the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability is required).
- EADDRINUSE
- All privileged ports are in use.
- EAFNOSUPPORT (EPFNOSUPPORT in glibc 2.7 and earlier)
- sin is not NULL and sin->sin_family is not AF_INET.
CONFORMING TO¶
Not in POSIX.1-2001. Present on the BSDs, Solaris, and many other systems.NOTES¶
Unlike some bindresvport() implementations, the glibc implementation ignores any value that the caller supplies in sin->sin_port.SEE ALSO¶
