.TH ARES_SET_LOCAL_DEV 3 "30 June 2010" |
|
.SH NAME |
|
ares_set_local_dev \- Bind to a specific network device when creating sockets. |
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.nf |
|
.B #include <ares.h> |
|
.PP |
|
.B void ares_set_local_dev(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP, const char* \fIlocal_dev_name\fP) |
|
.fi |
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
The \fBares_set_local_dev\fP function causes all future sockets |
|
to be bound to this device with SO_BINDTODEVICE. This forces communications |
|
to go over a certain interface, which can be useful on multi-homed machines. |
|
This option is only supported on Linux, and root privileges are required |
|
for the option to work. If SO_BINDTODEVICE is not supported or the |
|
setsocktop call fails (probably because of permissions), the error is |
|
silently ignored. |
|

.SH NOTES |
|
