NAME

socket_listen - attempt to make a TCP connection

SYNTAX

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int socket_listen (int s ,int n );

DESCRIPTION

socket_listen prepares TCP socket s to accept TCP connections. It allows a backlog of approximately n TCP SYNs. (On systems supporting SYN cookies, the backlog is irrelevant.) Normally socket_listen returns 0.

If anything goes wrong, socket_listen returns -1, setting errno appropriately.

EXAMPLE

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int s ;
char ip [16];
uint16 p ;

if (( s =socket_tcp6())==-1)
strerr_die2sys(111,FATAL,"unable to create TCP socket: ");
if (socket_bind6_reuse( s ,(char *)V6any,8002,0) == -1)
strerr_die2sys(111,FATAL,"unable to bind: ");
if (socket_listen( s ,1) == -1)
strerr_die2sys(111,FATAL,"unable to listen: ");
