+zmq_bind(3)
+===========
+
+
+NAME
+----
+zmq_bind - binds the socket to the specified address
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'int zmq_bind (void *s, const char *addr);'
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The function binds socket 's' to a particular transport. Actual semantics of the
+command depend on the underlying transport mechanism, however, in cases where
+peers connect in an asymmetric manner, 'zmq_bind' should be called first,
+'zmq_connect' afterwards. Actual formats of 'addr' parameter are defined by
+individual transports. For a list of supported transports have a look at
+linkzmq:zmq[7] manual page.
+
+Note that single socket can be bound (and connected) to
+arbitrary number of peers using different transport mechanisms.
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and
+sets 'errno' to the appropriate value.
+
+
+ERRORS
+------
+*EPROTONOSUPPORT*::
+unsupported protocol.
+*ENOCOMPATPROTO*::
+protocol is not compatible with the socket type.
+*EADDRINUSE*::
+the given address is already in use.
+*EADDRNOTAVAIL*::
+a nonexistent interface was requested or the requested address was not local.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+----
+void *s = zmq_socket (context, ZMQ_PUB);
+assert (s);
+int rc = zmq_bind (s, "inproc://my_publisher");
+assert (rc == 0);
+rc = zmq_bind (s, "tcp://eth0:5555");
+assert (rc == 0);
