Excerpt:

For example:

        #define RECV_IP_ADDR   "225.6.7.8"  // arbitrary multicast address

        mreq.imr_multiaddr.s_addr = inet_addr(RECV_IP_ADDR);
        mreq.imr_interface.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
        err = setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP,
                        (char*)&mreq, sizeof(mreq))


Note that it is necessary to bind to an address before calling the
setsockopt() function.
