kStatus kSocket_EnableReuseAddress ( kSocket  socket,
kBool  reuse 
)

Enables or disables reuse of a local end point within a short period of time.

The option is typically used to allow a server to rebind to a local end point while a previous socket with the same local end point is in the TIME_WAIT state. This can be useful when a server must be stopped and started within a brief interval, but there is a small risk that packets with identical source/destination information could be misdirected to the new socket.

Parameters
socketSocket object.
reusekTRUE to enable reuse of IP addresses; kFALSE otherwise.
Returns
Operation status.
