.SH NAME
dlpi_bind \- bind DLPI handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBcc\fR [ \fIflag\fR ... ] \fIfile\fR ... \fB-ldlpi\fR [ \fIlibrary\fR ... ]
#include <libdlpi.h>

\fBint\fR \fBdlpi_bind\fR(\fBdlpi_handle_t\fR \fIdh\fR, \fBuint_t\fR \fIsap\fR, \fBuint_t *\fR\fIboundsap\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBdlpi_bind()\fR function attempts to bind the \fBDLPI\fR handle \fIdh\fR
to the \fBSAP\fR \fIsap\fR. The handle must be in the \fBDL_UNBOUND\fR
\fBDLPI\fR state and will transition to the \fBDL_IDLE\fR \fBDLPI\fR state upon
success. Some \fBDLPI\fR \fBMAC\fR types can bind to a different \fBSAP\fR than
the \fBSAP\fR requested, in which case \fIboundsap\fR returns the actual bound
\fBSAP\fR. If \fIboundsap\fR is set to \fBNULL\fR, \fBdlpi_bind()\fR fails if
the bound \fBSAP\fR does not match the requested \fBSAP\fR. If the caller does
not care which \fBSAP\fR is chosen, \fBDLPI_ANY_SAP\fR can be specified for
\fIsap\fR. This is primarily useful in conjunction with \fBdlpi_promiscon()\fR
and \fBDL_PROMISC_SAP\fR to receive traffic from all \fBSAP\fRs. If
\fBDLPI_ANY_SAP\fR is specified, any transmitted messages must explicitly
specify a \fBSAP\fR using \fBdlpi_send\fR(3DLPI).
.sp
.LP
Upon success, the caller can use \fBdlpi_recv\fR(3DLPI) to receive data
matching the bound \fBSAP\fR that is sent to the \fBDLPI\fR link associated
with \fIdh\fR. In addition, the caller can use \fBdlpi_send\fR(3DLPI) to send
data over the bound \fBSAP\fR address associated with \fBDLPI\fR handle
\fIdh\fR. The physical address of the bound handle can be retrieved with
\fBdlpi_info\fR(3DLPI).
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon success, \fBDLPI_SUCCESS\fR is returned. If \fBDL_SYSERR\fR is returned,
\fBerrno\fR contains the specific UNIX system error value. Otherwise, a
\fBDLPI\fR error value defined in \fB<sys/dlpi.h>\fR or an error value listed
in the following section is returned.
