+.TH zmq_bind 3 "" "(c)2007-2009 FastMQ Inc." "0MQ User Manuals"
+.SH NAME
+zmq_bind \- binds the socket to the specified address
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B int zmq_bind (void *s, const char *addr);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The function binds socket
+.IR s to a particular transport. Actual semantics of the 
+command depend on the underlying transport mechanism, however, in cases where
+peers connect in an asymetric manner,
+.IR zmq_bind
+should be called first,
+.IR zmq_connect
+afterwards. For actual formats of
+.IR addr
+parameter for different types of transport have a look at
+.IR zmq(7) .
+Note that single socket can be bound (and connected) to
+arbitrary number of peers using different transport mechanisms.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and
+sets
+.IR errno
+to the appropriate value.
+.SH ERRORS
+.IP "\fBEPROTONOSUPPORT\fP"
+unsupported protocol.
+.IP "\fBENOCOMPATPROTO\fP"
+protocol is not compatible with the socket type.
+.IP "\fBEADDRINUSE\fP"
+the given address is already in use.
+.IP "\fBEADDRNOTAVAIL\fP"
+a nonexistent interface was requested or the requested address was not local.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+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);
