+.Sh NAME
+.Nm bind
+.Nd bind a name to a socket
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
+.Fd #include <sys/socket.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn bind "int s" "struct sockaddr *name" "int namelen"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn Bind
+assigns a name to an unnamed socket.
+When a socket is created 
+with
+.Xr socket 2
+it exists in a name space (address family)
+but has no name assigned.
+.Fn Bind
+requests that
+.Fa name
+be assigned to the socket.
+.Sh NOTES
+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 (using
+.Xr unlink 2 ) .
+.Pp
+The rules used in name binding vary between communication domains.
+Consult the manual entries in section 4 for detailed information.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If the bind is successful, a 0 value is returned.
+A return value of -1 indicates an error, which is
+further specified in the global
+.Va errno .
+.Sh ERRORS

+.Fn bind
+call will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er

+.It Bq Er ENOTSOCK
+.Fa S
+is not a socket.
+.It Bq Er EADDRNOTAVAIL
+The specified address is not available from the local machine.
+.It Bq Er EADDRINUSE
+The specified address is already in use.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL

+.Dv {PATH_MAX}
+characters.
+.It Bq Er ENOENT

+.It Bq Er ELOOP
+Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
+.It Bq Er EIO
