NAME
       socket_bind6 - set the local IP address and port of a socket

SYNTAX
       #include <socket.h>

       int socket_bind6(int s, char ip[16], uint16 port,
			uint32 scope_id);

DESCRIPTION
       socket_bind6 sets the local IP address and TCP/UDP port of a TCP/UDP socket s to ip and port respectively.

       If the IP address is ::, the operating system chooses a local IP address.  If port is 0, the operating system chooses a port.

       Normally socket_bind6 returns 0. If anything goes wrong, socket_bind6 returns -1, setting errno appropriately.

       The  scope_id should normally be zero, but for link-local addresses it specifies the interface number on which to bind.	The interface num-
       ber for a given network interface name can be found with socket_getifidx.

EXAMPLE
	 #include <socket.h>

	 int s;
	 char ip[16];
	 uint16 p;
	 uint32 scope_id;

	 s = socket_tcp6();
	 socket_bind6(s,ip,p,scope_id);
	 socket_connect6(s,ip,p);
