bind

bzero(&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr));
servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
servaddr.sin_port = htons(13);    /* daytime server */

Bind(listenfd, (SA *) &servaddr, sizeof(servaddr));

The server's well-known port (13 for the daytime service) is bound to the socket by filling in an Internet socket address structure and calling bind. We specify the IP address as INADDR_ANY, which allows the server to accept a client connection on any interface, in case the server host has multiple interfaces. Later we will see how we can restrict the server to accepting a client connection on just a single interface.
