Rbind()

The Rbind() call binds a local name to the socket.

Syntax

#include <types.h>
#include <sys\socket.h>
int Rbind(s, name, namelen remoteaddr)
int s;
struct sockaddr *name;
int namelen;
struct sockaddr *remoteaddr;

Parameters

s

Socket descriptor returned by a previous call to socket().

Pointer to a sockaddr structure containing the name that is to be bound to s.

Size in bytes of the sockaddr structure pointed to by name.

Pointer to a sockaddr structure containing the address of the remote host from which the connection is expected to be established.

Description

This call checks remoteaddr to see if it is reachable via a direct connection, or whether a connection through a SOCKS server is required. If the former, then this call is equivalent to a bind (s, name, namelen). If the latter, then a connection to the SOCKS server is established and a bind request is sent. Rgetsockname() may be called to retrieve the IP address and port number the SOCKS server assigned.
