I'm assuming that the comment was regarding socket address structures, so correct the comment about pre-zero'ing socket structures to recommend pre-zero'ing socket address structures. - Fix some minor grammar nits. - This isn't directly submitted by the PR below but is related to it and was inspired by it.

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm bind
|
|
.Nd assign a local protocol address to a socket
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/socket.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn bind "int s" "const struct sockaddr *addr" "socklen_t addrlen"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn Bind
|
|
assigns the local protocol address to a socket.
|
|
When a socket is created
|
|
with
|
|
.Xr socket 2
|
|
it exists in an address family space but has no protocol address assigned.
|
|
.Fn Bind
|
|
requests that
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
be assigned to the socket.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
Binding an address in the UNIX domain creates a socket in the file
|
|
system that must be deleted by the caller when it is no longer
|
|
needed (using
|
|
.Xr unlink 2 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The rules used in address binding vary between communication domains.
|
|
Consult the manual entries in section 4 for detailed information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For maximum portability, you should always zero the socket address structure
|
|
before populating it and passing it to
|
|
.Fn bind .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
