SO_BINDTODEVICE

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14478167/bind-socket-to-network-interface

You can bind to a specific interface by setting SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option. Warning: You have to be root and have the CAP_NET_RAW capability in order to use this option.

memset(&ifr, 0, sizeof(ifr));
snprintf(ifr.ifr_name, sizeof(ifr.ifr_name), "eth0");
if (setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, (void *)&ifr, sizeof(ifr)) < 0) {
    ... error handling ...
}
