What's the value of INADDR_ANY? You can look it up in header files, but it's equally easy to get it with a little code: 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    struct sockaddr_in sa;
    sa.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
    printf("INADDR_ANY value: %s\n", inet_ntoa(sa.sin_addr));
    return 0;
}

Output: 
$ ./inaddrvalue
INADDR_ANY value: 0.0.0.0
