.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/socket.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn listen "int s" "int backlog"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
To accept connections, a socket
|
|
is first created with
|
|
.Xr socket 2 ,
|
|
a willingness to accept incoming connections and
|
|
a queue limit for incoming connections are specified with
|
|
.Fn listen ,
|
|
and then the connections are
|
|
accepted with
|
|
.Xr accept 2 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn listen
|
|
call applies only to sockets of type
|
|
.Dv SOCK_STREAM
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv SOCK_SEQPACKET .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa 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
|
|
.Er 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
|
|
.Fn listen
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF

|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is not a valid descriptor.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTSOCK
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is not a socket.
