Just to be absolutely clear, here is the relevant passage from
APUE(2Ed) on page 580:
The function in Figure 16.10 fails to operate properly when the
server
terminates and we try to restart it immediately. Normally, the
implementation
of TCP will prevent us from binding the same address until a
timeout
expires, which is usually on the order of several minutes. Luckily,
the
SO_REUSEADDR socket option allows us to bypass this restriction, as
is illustrated in Figure 16.20.

#include "apue.h"
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int initserver(int type, const struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t
alen, int qlen)
{
int fd, err;
int reuse =3D 1;
if((fd =3D socket(addr->sa_vamily, type, 0)) < 0)
return -1;
if(setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &reuse, sizeof(int))
< 0)
{
err =3D errno;
goto errout;
}
if(type =3D=3D SOCK_STREAM || type =3D=3D SOCK_SEQPACKET)
{
if(listen(fd, qlen) < 0)
{
err =3D errno;
goto errout;
}
}
return fd;
errout:
close(fd);
errno =3D err;
return -1;
}
----
Figure 16.20 Initialize a socket endpoint for use by a server with
address reuse
To enable the SO_REUSEADDR option, we set an integer to a nonzero
value and
pass the address of the integer as the val argument to
setsockopt(). We set the len
argument to the size of an integer to indicate the size of the
object to which val points.
If you do that you shouldn't have any further problems with bind
failing.
