zStatus zSocket_EnableReuseAddress(zSocket sock, zBool reuse);
Parameters
Parameters 
Description 
zBool reuse 
zTRUE to enable reuse of IP addresses; zFALSE otherwise. 
socket 
zSocket object. 
Description

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. 

This option is disabled by default.
