It's simply a means to provide values for the arguments that will be a good default (or starting point). For example, if let's say... you're opening a socket to provide some service. By default, most libraries will bind to any (or every) Ethernet address available on a system. Reason you'd want to do this is because you don't necessarily want to only provide the service on one Ethernet device but not the other (for example, servers have multiple Eth devices for load balancing). If however, you do only want the service to be provided on one device, then you can choose to bind to the specific Eth address of interest.
