Bind the acceptor to the given local endpoint.

void bind(
    const endpoint_type & endpoint,
    boost::system::error_code & ec);

ec: Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.

Example

boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(my_context);
boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), 12345);
acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol());
boost::system::error_code ec;
acceptor.bind(endpoint, ec);
if (ec)
{
  // An error occurred.
