Parameter values set by the application

SOC-FUNCTION

A 16-byte character field containing BIND. The field is left-justified and padded to the right with blanks.

S

A halfword binary number specifying the socket descriptor for the socket to be bound.

NAME

Specifies the IPv4 socket address structure for the socket that is to be bound.

FAMILY: A halfword binary field specifying the IPv4 addressing family. The value is always set to decimal 2, indicating AF_INET.
PORT: A halfword binary field that is set to the port number to which you want the socket to be bound.
Note: To determine the assigned port number, call the GETSOCKNAME command after calling the BIND command.
IP-ADDRESS: A fullword binary field that is set to the 32-bit IPv4 IP address (network byte order) of the socket to be bound.
RESERVED: Specifies an 8-byte character field that is required but not used.

Specifies the IPv6 socket address structure for the socket that is to be bound.

FAMILY: A halfword binary field specifying the IPv6 addressing family. For TCP/IP the value is decimal 19, indicating AF_INET6.
PORT: A halfword binary field that is set to the port number to which you want the socket to be bound.
Note: To determine the assigned port number, call the GETSOCKNAME command after calling the BIND command.
FLOWINFO: A fullword binary field specifying the traffic class and flow label. This field must be set to 0.
IP-ADDRESS: A 16-byte binary field that is set to the 128-bit IPv6 IP address (network byte order) of the socket to be bound.
SCOPE-ID: A fullword binary field which identifies a set of interfaces as appropriate for the scope of the address carried in the IPv6-ADDRESS field. A value of 0 indicates the SCOPE-ID field does not identify the set of interfaces to be used, and may be specified for any address types and scopes. For a link scope IPv6-ADDRESS, SCOPE-ID may specify a link index which identifies a set of interfaces. For all other address scopes, SCOPE-ID must be set to 0.
