                  Please leave enough context for your articles to make sense.
                  Your question was about bind.
                  I told you bind is not standard C, but if you're looking for the POSIX
                  one, you should ask in comp.unix.progr ammer.
                  I even posted a follow-up there.

                  If you use google groups, use the following link
                  <http://groups.google.com/group/comp....browse_thread/
                  thread/0020b79c71e7541 b>

                  Else use this message ID
                  Message-ID: <b5ca1eed-d849-4b19-a333-

                      For Unix/Linux/POSIX systems, try comp.unix.progr ammer.

                      For MS Windows, try comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32.

                          I don't understand the second description, but if bind() returns -1 for
                          failure, you can see what went wrong by examining errno. For example,
                          errno will be set to EADDRINUSE if the given address is already in use.

                          By the way, your questions are 100% topical, and you'd do well to ignore
                          the cantankerous few who insist otherwise.

                          Ask yourself the following questions:
                          1) Out of the people who've whined about "topicality ", how many of them
                          have given you a useful answer to any of your questions?
                          2) Given 1), do you think you've got anything to gain by giving in to
                          their childish clamoring?
