#### basic_seq_packet_socket::reuse_address

Inherited from socket_base.

Socket option to allow the socket to be bound to an address that is already in use.

    typedef implementation_defined reuse_address;

Implements the SOL_SOCKET/SO_REUSEADDR socket option.

###### Examples

Setting the option:

    boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service);
    ...
    boost::asio::socket_base::reuse_address option(true);
    acceptor.set_option(option);

Getting the current option value:

    boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service);
    ...
    boost::asio::socket_base::reuse_address option;
    acceptor.get_option(option);
    bool is_set = option.value();

###### Requirements

Header: `boost/asio/basic_seq_packet_socket.hpp`

Convenience header: `boost/asio.hpp`
