- * Binds a socket to a VRF device.

- * If name is null, the socket is not bound, irrespective of any other
- * arguments.
+ * If ifname is NULL or is equal to the VRF name then bind to a VRF device.

- * name should be the name of the VRF device. vrf_id should be the
- * corresponding vrf_id (the ifindex of the device).
+ * Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
