+PR_Bind
+=======
+
+Binds an address to a specified socket.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+   #include <prio.h>
+
+   PRStatus PR_Bind(
+     PRFileDesc *fd,
+     const PRNetAddr *addr);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``fd``
+   A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing a socket.
+``addr``
+   A pointer to a :ref:`PRNetAddr` object representing the address to which
+   the socket will be bound.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+-  Upon successful binding of an address to a socket, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+-  If unsuccessful, ``PR_FAILURE``. Further information can be obtained
+   by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+When a new socket is created, it has no address bound to it. :ref:`PR_Bind`
+assigns the specified address (also known as name) to the socket. If you
+do not care about the exact IP address assigned to the socket, set the
+``inet.ip`` field of :ref:`PRNetAddr` to :ref:`PR_htonl`\ (``PR_INADDR_ANY``).
+If you do not care about the TCP/UDP port assigned to the socket, set
+the ``inet.port`` field of :ref:`PRNetAddr` to 0.
+
+Note that if :ref:`PR_Connect` is invoked on a socket that is not bound, it
+implicitly binds an arbitrary address the socket.
+
+Call :ref:`PR_GetSockName` to obtain the address (name) bound to a socket.
