However, \fBTLI\fR interfaces are supported for compatibility. When 30 using a \fBTLI\fR routine that has the same name as an \fBXTI\fR routine, the 31 \fBtiuser.h\fR header file must be used. Refer to the \fBTLI\fR 32 \fBCOMPATIBILITY\fR section for a description of differences between the two 33 interfaces. 34 .sp 35 .LP 36 This function associates a protocol address with the transport endpoint 37 specified by \fIfd\fR and activates that transport endpoint. In connection 38 mode, the transport provider may begin enqueuing incoming connect indications, 39 or servicing a connection request on the transport endpoint. In 40 connectionless-mode, the transport user may send or receive data units through 41 the transport endpoint. 42 .sp 43 .LP 44 The \fIreq\fR and \fIret\fR arguments point to a \fBt_bind\fR structure 45 containing the following members: 46 .sp 47 .in +2 48 .nf 49 struct netbuf addr; 50 unsigned qlen; 51 .fi 52 .in -2 53 54 .sp 55 .LP 56 The \fIaddr\fR field of the \fBt_bind\fR structure specifies a protocol 57 address, and the \fIqlen\fR field is used to indicate the maximum number of 58 outstanding connection indications. 59 .sp 60 .LP 61 The parameter \fIreq\fR is used to request that an address, represented by the 62 \fBnetbuf\fR structure, be bound to the given transport endpoint. The parameter 63 \fIlen\fR specifies the number of bytes in the address, and \fIbuf\fR points to 64 the address buffer. The parameter \fImaxlen\fR has no meaning for the \fIreq\fR 65 argument. On return, \fIret\fR contains an encoding for the address that the 66 transport provider actually bound to the transport endpoint; if an address was 67 specified in \fIreq\fR, this will be an encoding of the same address. In 68 \fIret\fR, the user specifies \fImaxlen,\fR which is the maximum size of the 69 address buffer, and \fIbuf\fR which points to the buffer where the address is 70 to be placed. On return, \fIlen\fR specifies the number of bytes in the bound 71 address, and \fIbuf\fR points to the bound address. If \fImaxlen\fR equals 72 zero, no address is returned. If \fImaxlen\fR is greater than zero and less 73 than the length of the address, \fBt_bind()\fR fails with \fBt_errno\fR set to 74 \fBTBUFOVFLW\fR. 75 .sp 76 .LP 77 If the requested address is not available, \fBt_bind()\fR will return -1 with 78 \fBt_errno\fR set as appropriate. If no address is specified in \fIreq\fR (the 79 \fIlen\fR field of \fIaddr\fR in \fIreq\fR is zero or \fIreq\fR is 80 \fBNULL),\fR the transport provider will assign an appropriate address to be 81 bound, and will return that address in the \fIaddr\fR field of \fIret\fR. If 82 the transport provider could not allocate an address, \fBt_bind()\fR will fail 83 with \fBt_errno\fR set to \fBTNOADDR\fR. 84 .sp 85 .LP 86 The parameter \fIreq\fR may be a null pointer if the user does not wish to 87 specify an address to be bound. Here, the value of \fIqlen\fR is assumed to be 88 zero, and the transport provider will assign an address to the transport 89 endpoint. Similarly, \fIret\fR may be a null pointer if the user does not care 90 what address was bound by the provider and is not interested in the negotiated 91 value of \fIqlen\fR. It is valid to set \fIreq\fR and \fIret\fR to the null 92 pointer for the same call, in which case the provider chooses the address to 93 bind to the transport endpoint and does not return that information to the 94 user. 95 .sp 96 .LP 97 The \fIqlen\fR field has meaning only when initializing a connection-mode 98 service. It specifies the number of outstanding connection indications that the 99 transport provider should support for the given transport endpoint. An 100 outstanding connection indication is one that has been passed to the transport 101 user by the transport provider but which has not been accepted or rejected. A 102 value of \fIqlen\fR greater than zero is only meaningful when issued by a 103 passive transport user that expects other users to call it. The value of 104 \fIqlen\fR will be negotiated by the transport provider and may be changed if 105 the transport provider cannot support the specified number of outstanding 106 connection indications. However, this value of \fIqlen\fR will never be 107 negotiated from a requested value greater than zero to zero. This is a 108 requirement on transport providers; see \fBWARNINGS\fR below. On return, the 109 \fIqlen\fR field in \fIret\fR will contain the negotiated value. 110 .sp 111 .LP 112 If \fIfd\fR refers to a connection-mode service, this function allows more than 113 one transport endpoint to be bound to the same protocol address. But it is not 114 possible to bind more than one protocol address to the same transport endpoint. 115 However, the transport provider must also support this capability. If a user 116 binds more than one transport endpoint to the same protocol address, only one 117 endpoint can be used to listen for connection indications associated with that 118 protocol address. In other words, only one \fBt_bind()\fR for a given protocol 119 address may specify a value of \fIqlen\fR greater than zero. In this way, the 120 transport provider can identify which transport endpoint should be notified of 121 an incoming connection indication. If a user attempts to bind a protocol 122 address to a second transport endpoint with a value of \fIqlen\fR greater than 123 zero, \fBt_bind()\fR will return -1 and set \fBt_errno\fR to \fBTADDRBUSY\fR. 124 When a user accepts a connection on the transport endpoint that is being used 125 as the listening endpoint, the bound protocol address will be found to be busy 126 for the duration of the connection, until a \fBt_unbind\fR(3NSL) or 127 \fBt_close\fR(3NSL) call has been issued. No other transport endpoints may be 128 bound for listening on that same protocol address while that initial listening 129 endpoint is active (in the data transfer phase or in the \fBT_IDLE\fR state). 130 This will prevent more than one transport endpoint bound to the same protocol 131 address from accepting connection indications. 132 .sp 133 .LP 134 If \fIfd\fR refers to connectionless mode service, this function allows for 135 more than one transport endpoint to be associated with a protocol address, 136 where the underlying transport provider supports this capability (often in 137 conjunction with value of a protocol-specific option). If a user attempts to 138 bind a second transport endpoint to an already bound protocol address when such 139 capability is not supported for a transport provider, \fBt_bind()\fR will 140 return -1 and set \fBt_errno\fR to \fBTADDRBUSY\fR. 141 .SH RETURN VALUES 142 .sp 143 .LP 144 Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of 145 -1 is returned and \fBt_errno\fR is set to indicate an error. 146 .SH VALID STATES 147 .sp 148 .LP 149 \fBT_UNBND\fR 150 .SH ERRORS 151 .sp 152 .LP 153 On failure, \fBt_errno\fR is set to one of the following: 154 .sp 155 .ne 2 156 .na 157 \fB\fBTACCES\fR\fR 158 .ad 159 .RS 13n 160 The user does not have permission to use the specified address. 161 .RE 162 163 .sp 164 .ne 2 165 .na 166 \fB\fBTADDRBUSY\fR\fR 167 .ad 168 .RS 13n 169 The requested address is in use. 170 .RE 171 172 .sp 173 .ne 2 174 .na 175 \fB\fBTBADADDR\fR\fR 176 .ad 177 .RS 13n 178 The specified protocol address was in an incorrect format or contained illegal 179 information. 180 .RE 181 182 .sp 183 .ne 2 184 .na 185 \fB\fBTBADF\fR\fR 186 .ad 187 .RS 13n 188 The specified file descriptor does not refer to a transport endpoint. 189 .RE 190 191 .sp 192 .ne 2 193 .na 194 \fB\fBTBUFOVFLW\fR\fR 195 .ad 196 .RS 13n 197 The number of bytes allowed for an incoming argument \fI(maxlen)\fR is greater 198 than 0 but not sufficient to store the value of that argument.

This, and other semantic differences between the two 247 interfaces are described in the subsections below. 248 .SS "Interface Header" 249 .sp 250 .LP 251 The \fBXTI\fR interfaces use the header file, \fBxti.h\fR. \fBTLI\fR interfaces 252 should \fInot\fR use this header. They should use the header: 253 .sp 254 .LP 255 \fB#include\fR \fB<tiuser.h>\fR 256 .SS "Address Bound" 257 .sp 258 .LP 259 The user can compare the addresses in \fIreq\fR and \fIret\fR to determine 260 whether the transport provider bound the transport endpoint to a different 261 address than that requested. 262 .SS "Error Description Values" 263 .sp 264 .LP 265 The \fBt_errno\fR values \fBTPROTO\fR and \fBTADDRBUSY\fR can be set by the 266 \fBXTI\fR interface but cannot be set by the \fBTLI\fR interface. 267 .sp 268 .LP 269 A \fBt_errno\fR value that this routine can return under different 270 circumstances than its \fBXTI\fR counterpart is \fBTBUFOVFLW\fR.

That means 305 that although an attempt to bind a communications endpoint to some address with 306 \fIqlen=0\fR might be rejected with \fBTADDRBUSY\fR, the user may nevertheless 307 use this (unbound) endpoint as a responding endpoint in a call to 308 \fBt_accept\fR(3NSL). To become independent of such implementation differences, 309 the user should supply unbound responding endpoints to \fBt_accept\fR(3NSL). 310 .sp 311 .LP 312 The local address bound to an endpoint may change as result of a 313 \fBt_accept\fR(3NSL) or \fBt_connect\fR(3NSL) call. Such changes are not 314 necessarily reversed when the connection is released.
