.SH NAME
|
|
.BR listen
|
|
\- listen for connections on a socket
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.br
|
|
#include <sys/socket.h>
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
int
|
|
\fBlisten\fR (int \fIs\fR, int \fIbacklog\fR);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
To accept connections, a socket
|
|
is first created with
|
|
.BR socket (2),
|
|
a willingness to accept incoming connections and
|
|
a queue limit for incoming connections are specified with
|
|
.BR listen ,
|
|
and then the connections are
|
|
accepted with
|
|
.BR accept (2).
|
|
The
|
|
.BR listen
|
|
call applies only to sockets of type
|
|
.BR SOCK_STREAM
|
|
or
|
|
.BR SOCK_SEQPACKET.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.I backlog
|
|
parameter defines the maximum length the queue of
|
|
pending connections may grow to.
|
|
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.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
A 0 return value indicates success; -1 indicates an error.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
