socket_listen

Description

After the socket socket has been created using socket_create() and bound to a name with socket_bind(), it may be told to listen for incoming connections on socket.

A maximum of backlog incoming connections will be queued for processing. If a connection request arrives with the queue full the client may receive an error with an indication of ECONNREFUSED, or, if the underlying protocol supports retransmission, the request may be ignored so that retries may succeed.

socket_listen() is applicable only to sockets of type SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_SEQPACKET.

Returnează TRUE în caz de succes, FALSE în caz contrar. The error code can be retrieved with socket_last_error(). This code may be passed to socket_strerror() to get a textual explanation of the error.

See also socket_accept(), socket_bind(), socket_connect(), socket_create() and socket_strerror().
