## Member Function Documentation

Returns 0 if successfully binds (1) a previously unbound <name>, 1 if trying to bind a previously bound <name>, or returns -1 if a resource failure occurs. When this call returns <pointer>'s value will always reference the void * that <name> is associated with. Thus, if the caller needs to use <pointer> (e.g., to free it) a copy must be maintained by the caller.
