Some:

__get_initial_port
__get_initial_port_dividend
__get_port
__get_port_dividend
__get_id_for_port
__get_id_for_initial_port
__get_id_for_initial_port_dividend
__get_pid_for_port
__get_pid_for_initial_port
__get_pid_for_initial_port_dividend

(initial, because if the first attempt fails, bindresvport
increments and tries again, etc.)
(dividend, because this doesn't really return a port,
but the dividend to be used in a modulus operation.)
