Rbind()

Bind a name to a socket (via a SOCKS server)

Synopsis:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

           const struct sockaddr * name,
           int namelen );

Arguments:

s

The file descriptor to be bound.

name

A pointer to the sockaddr structure that holds the address to be bound to the socket. The socket length and format depend upon its address family.
