    bind SOCKET,NAME
            Binds a network address to a socket, just as [bind(2)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/bind/2/markdown) does.
            Returns true if it succeeded, false otherwise. NAME should be a
            packed address of the appropriate type for the socket. See the
            examples in "Sockets: Client/Server Communication" in perlipc.
