The listen function places a socket in a state in which it is listening for an incoming connection. |
|
|
| Code examples: |
|
|
|
|
|
| Declaration: |
|
|
int listen(
SOCKET s,
int backlog
);
|
|
|
|
| FoxPro declaration: |
|
|
DECLARE INTEGER listen IN ws2_32;
INTEGER s,;
INTEGER backlog
|
|
|
|
| Parameters: |
|
s
[in] Descriptor identifying a bound, unconnected socket.
backlog
[in] Maximum length of the queue of pending connections. |
|
|
| Return value: |
|
| If no error occurs, listen returns zero. Otherwise, a value of SOCKET_ERROR is returned, and a specific error code can be retrieved by calling WSAGetLastError. |
|
|
| My comment: |
|
| If backlog set to SOMAXCONN (0x7FFFFFFF), the underlying service provider responsible for socket s will set the backlog to a maximum reasonable value. |
