+zmq_bind(3)
+===========
+
+
+NAME
+----
+zmq_bind - accept connections on a socket
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*int zmq_bind (void '*socket', const char '*endpoint');*
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _zmq_bind()_ function shall create an endpoint for accepting connections
+and bind it to the socket referenced by the 'socket' argument.
+
+The 'endpoint' argument is a string consisting of two parts as follows:
+'transport'`://`'address'. The 'transport' part specifies the underlying
+transport protocol to use. The meaning of the 'address' part is specific to
+the underlying transport protocol selected.
+
+The following transports are defined:
+
+'inproc':: local in-process (inter-thread) communication transport, see linkzmq:zmq_inproc[7]
+'ipc':: local inter-process communication transport, see linkzmq:zmq_ipc[7]
+'tcp':: unicast transport using TCP, see linkzmq:zmq_tcp[7]
+'pgm', 'epgm':: reliable multicast transport using PGM, see linkzmq:zmq_pgm[7]
+
+With the exception of 'ZMQ_PAIR' sockets, a single socket may be connected to
+multiple endpoints using _zmq_connect()_, while simultaneously accepting
+incoming connections from multiple endpoints bound to the socket using
+_zmq_bind()_. Refer to linkzmq:zmq_socket[3] for a description of the exact
+semantics involved when connecting or binding a socket to multiple endpoints.
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _zmq_bind()_ function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it shall
+return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below.
+
+
+ERRORS
+------
+*EPROTONOSUPPORT*::
+The requested 'transport' protocol is not supported.
+*ENOCOMPATPROTO*::
+The requested 'transport' protocol is not compatible with the socket type.
+*EADDRINUSE*::
+The requested 'address' is already in use.
+*EADDRNOTAVAIL*::
+The requested 'address' was not local.
+*ENODEV*::
+The requested 'address' specifies a nonexistent interface.
+*ETERM*::
+The 0MQ 'context' associated with the specified 'socket' was terminated.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+.Binding a publisher socket to an in-process and a TCP transport
+----
+/* Create a ZMQ_PUB socket */
+void *socket = zmq_socket (context, ZMQ_PUB);
+assert (socket);
+/* Bind it to a in-process transport with the address 'my_publisher' */
+int rc = zmq_bind (socket, "inproc://my_publisher");
+assert (rc == 0);
+/* Bind it to a TCP transport on port 5555 of the 'eth0' interface */
+rc = zmq_bind (socket, "tcp://eth0:5555");
+assert (rc == 0);
