Hmm. I have not seen code with does that for the last argument
of a socket() call. Normally 0 is used, which means 'select whatever
is appropiate'. For port numbers using a function call is common,
especially if the user can specify a name on the command line.
Please note that these numbers are IANA registered numbers
and you do not have a choice.

But it is your decision to include it or not.
