tcp_listen

#include <rtl.h>

BOOL tcp_listen (
    U8  socket,       /* TCP socket to listen with. */
    U16 locport );    /* TCP port number to listen at. */

The tcp_listen function opens a socket for incoming connections by causing the socket to listen at a local TCP port. The argument socket specifies the handle for the socket to listen with on the local machine. The argument locport specifies the TCP port number to listen at.

The tcp_listen function is in the RL-TCPnet library. The prototype is defined in rtl.h.

note

• TCPnet server applications (such as Telnet and HTTP server) must open a TCP socket for listening.
• Only sockets of type TCP_TYPE_SERVER or TCP_TYPE_CLIENT_SERVER can call the tcp_listen function.

• __TRUE - if the TCP socket has started listening without errors
• __FALSE - otherwise
