== NAME
nn_bind - accept connections from remote peers (compatible API)
== SYNOPSIS
[source, c]
----
#include <nanomsg/nn.h>
int nn_bind(int sock, const char *url)
----
== DESCRIPTION
The `nn_bind()` function arranges for the socket _sock_ to
accept connections at the address specified by _url_.
An identifier for this socket's association with the _url_ is
returned to the caller on success.
This identfier can be used with
xref:nn_shutdown.3compat.adoc[`nn_shutdown()`] to
remove the association later.
NOTE: This function is provided for API
xref:nng_compat.3compat.adoc[compatibility] with legacy _libnanomsg_.
Consider using the relevant xref:libnng.3.adoc[modern API] instead.
NOTE: The bind operation is performed asynchronously, and may not have
completed before this function returns control to the caller.
IMPORTANT: Only transports supported by legacy _libnanomsg_ may be
used with this function.
In particular, only the schemes `tcp://`, `ipc://`, `inproc://`, and `ws://` are
supported with this function.
(Use the xref:libnng.3.adoc[modern API] to use other schemes.)
== RETURN VALUES
This function returns a positive identifier on success, and -1 on error.
== ERRORS
[horizontal]
`EADDRINUSE`:: The address specified by _url_ is already in use.
`EADDRNOTAVAIL`:: The address specified by _url_ is not available.
`EBADF`:: The socket _sock_ is not open.
`EINVAL`:: An invalid _url_ was supplied.
