SYNOPSIS

#include <netinet/in.h>
int bindresvport(sd, sin)
int sd;
struct sockaddr_in *sin;
DESCRIPTION
bindresvport() is used to bind a socket descriptor to a
privileged IP port, that is, a port number in the range
0-1023. The routine returns 0 if it is successful, other
wise -1 is returned and errno set to reflect the cause of
the error.
Only root can bind to a privileged port; this call will
fail for any other users.
