.Sh NAME
.Nm bindresvport
.Ndbind a socket to a privileged IP port
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
.Fd #include <netinet/in.h>
.Ft int
.Fn bindresvport "int sd" "struct sockaddr_in **sin"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm Bindresvport
is used to bind a socket descriptor to a privileged
.Tn IP
port, that is, a
port number in the range 0-1023.
The routine returns 0 if it is successful,
otherwise -1 is returned and
.Va errno
set to reflect the cause of the error.
.Pp
Only root can bind to a privileged port; this call will fail for any
other users.
.Pp
If the value of sin->sin_port is non-zero
.Fn bindresvport
will attempt to use that specific port. If it fails, it chooses another
privileged port automatically.
