NAME
       spines_bind - bind a name to a Spines socket

SYNOPSIS
       #include "spines_lib.h"
  
       int spines_bind(int sockfd, struct sockaddr *my_addr, 
                       socklen_t addrlen);

DESCRIPTION
       spines_bind gives the socket sockfd the local address
       my_addr. my_addr is addrlen bytes long. When a Spines socket is
       created with spines_socket, it has a virtual port automatically
       assigned by the Spines daemon. This virtual port can be changed
       through the spines_bind call.

       It is normally necessary to assign a local address using
       spines_bind before a SOCK_STREAM socket may receive connections
       (see spines_accept).

RETURN VALUE
       On  success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned.
