binding sockets and pointer types

[Guillaume Yziquel]

Hello all.

I wish to bind a socket with the following code:

if (bind(s, (struct sockadrr *) serversocket, sizeof(serversocket)) != 0) {
perror("Failed to bind the server socket to a file.");
exit(1);
};

where serversocket is declared with

struct sockaddr_un serversocket;

At compile-time, I get:

main.c:29: warning: passing argument 2 of ´bind´ from incompatible pointer type.

I do not really understand how to get rid of this warning.

Guillaume.

Oh. I forgot to mention: I'm trying to use Unix-domain sockets, not
TCP/IP sockets. I've been trying to follow what has been written on:

Assuming this is cut-and-pasted from your program, the problem is that
you have misspelled "sockaddr" as "sockadrr".

You assumed right. Thank you: that was the last thing I were to think of...
