BINDRESVPORT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual BINDRESVPORT(3)
bindresvport - bind a socket to a privileged IP port
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
int bindresvport(int sockfd, struct sockaddr_in *sin);
bindresvport() is used to bind the socket referred to by the file
descriptor sockfd to a privileged anonymous IP port, that is, a port
number arbitrarily selected from the range 512 to 1023.
If the bind(2) performed by bindresvport() is successful, and sin is
not NULL, then sin->sin_port returns the port number actually
allocated.
sin can be NULL, in which case sin->sin_family is implicitly taken to
be AF_INET. However, in this case, bindresvport() has no way to
return the port number actually allocated. (This information can
later be obtained using getsockname(2).)
bindresvport() returns 0 on success; otherwise -1 is returned and
errno set to indicate the cause of the error.
bindresvport() can fail for any of the same reasons as bind(2). In
addition, the following errors may occur:
EACCES The calling process was not privileged (on Linux: the calling
process did not have the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability in
the user namespace governing its network namespace).
EADDRINUSE
All privileged ports are in use.
EAFNOSUPPORT (EPFNOSUPPORT in glibc 2.7 and earlier)
sin is not NULL and sin->sin_family is not AF_INET.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

The bindresvport() function uses a static variable that was not
protected by a lock before glibc 2.17, rendering the function MT-
Unsafe.
Not in POSIX.1. Present on the BSDs, Solaris, and many other
systems.
Unlike some bindresvport() implementations, the glibc implementation
ignores any value that the caller supplies in sin->sin_port.
