bind

bind(socket::Union{UDPSocket, TCPSocket}, host::IPAddr, port::Integer; ipv6only=false)

Bind socket to the given host:port. Note that 0.0.0.0 will listen on all devices. ipv6only parameter disables dual stack mode. If it's true, only IPv6 stack is created.

Examples

julia> bind(socket, host, port)

Binds the socket to the specified host:port combination. The host argument should be of type IPAddr, and the port argument should be an integer.

Example usage:

1. Bind a UDP socket to a specific address and port:

   julia> using Sockets
   
   julia> udp_socket = UDPSocket();
   
   julia> bind(udp_socket, parse(IPAddr, "192.168.0.1"), 8000)

   In this example, a UDP socket is created and bound to the IP address "192.168.0.1" and port 8000.

2. Bind a TCP socket to all available devices on a specific port:

   julia> using Sockets
   
   julia> tcp_socket = TCPSocket();
   
   julia> bind(tcp_socket, parse(IPAddr, "0.0.0.0"), 8080)

   This code binds a TCP socket to all available devices (IP address "0.0.0.0") on port 8080.

3. Bind a socket with IPv6-only stack:

   julia> using Sockets
   
   julia> tcp_socket = TCPSocket();
   
   julia> bind(tcp_socket, parse(IPAddr, "::1"), 8888, ipv6only=true)

   This example binds a TCP socket to the IPv6 loopback address "::1" on port 8888, using only the IPv6 stack.

Note: Make sure to import the Sockets module before using the UDPSocket and TCPSocket types.
