NAME
sctp_bindx —
bind or unbind an SCTP socket to a list
of addresses
LIBRARY
library “libc”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/sctp.h>
int
sctp_bindx(int
s, struct sockaddr
*addrs, int num,
int type);
DESCRIPTION
Thesctp_bindx()
call binds or unbinds a address or a list of addresses to an SCTP endpoint.
This allows a user to bind a subset of addresses. The
sctp_bindx() call operates similarly to
bind()
but allows a list of addresses and also allows a bind or an unbind. The
argument s must be a valid SCTP socket descriptor. The
argument addrs is a list of addresses (where the list
may be only 1 in length) that the user wishes to bind or unbind to the socket.
The argument type must be one of the following values.
SCTP_BINDX_ADD_ADDR This value indicates
that the listed address(es) need to be added to the endpoint.
SCTP_BINDX_REM_ADDR This value indicates
that the listed address(es) need to be removed from the endpoint.
Note that when a user adds or deletes an address to an association if the dynamic address flag net.inet.sctp.auto_asconf is enabled any associations in the endpoint will attempt to have the address(es) added dynamically to the existing association.
RETURN VALUES
The call returns 0 on success and -1 upon failure.
ERRORS
The sctp_bindx() function can return the
following errors:
- [
EINVAL] - This value is returned if the type field is not one of the allowed values (see above).
- [
ENOMEM] - This value is returned if the number of addresses being added causes a memory allocation failure in the call.
- [
EBADF] - The argument s is not a valid descriptor.
- [
ENOTSOCK] - The argument s is not a socket.
