Binding a socket associates a local protocol address (that is, a 32-bit IPv4 address and a 16-bit TCP or UDP port number) with a socket. To bind a socket, specify a local interface address and local port number for the socket.
With the TCP protocol, you can specify an IP address, a port number, both an IP address and port number or neither.
If the application is using the UDP protocol and needs to receive
incoming multicast or broadcast datagrams destined for a specific UDP
port, see Section 2.10 for information about specifying the
SO_REUSEPORT option when binding the socket.
2.3.1 Binding a Socket (Sockets API)
Example 2-3 shows an example of a TCP application using the bind() function to bind a socket name.
The process must have a system user identification code (UIC) and the SYSPRV, BYPASS, or OPER privilege to bind port numbers 1 to 1023. |

In this example, the bind() function:
Use the IO$_SETMODE or IO$_SETCHAR function of the $QIO system service to bind a socket.
The process must have a system user identification code (UIC), SYSPRV, BYPASS, or OPER privileges to bind port numbers 1 to 1023. |
Example 2-4 shows a TCP server using the IO$_SETMODE function to bind sockets.

Only server programs that use the TCP protocol need to set a socket to be a listener. This allows the program to receive incoming connection requests. As a connection-oriented protocol, TCP requires a connection; UDP, a connectionless protocol, does not.
The listen() function:
Example 2-5 shows how a TCP server uses the listen() function to set a socket to listen for connection requests and to specify the number of incoming requests that can wait to be queued for processing.

Although you can use separate $QIO calls for socket create, bind, and listen operations, you can also perform these operations with one $QIO call. |
A TCP client establishes a connection with a TCP server by issuing the
connect()
function. The
connect()
function initiates a three-way handshake between the client and the
server. This must be successful to establish the connection.
2.5.1 Initiating a Connection (Sockets API)
To initiate a connection to a a TCP server, use the connect() function. Example 2-7 shows a TCP client using the connect() function to initiate a connection to a TCP server.
