/* * call-seq: * socket.listen( int ) => 0 * * Listens for connections, using the specified +int+ as the backlog. A call * to _listen_ only applies if the +socket+ is of type SOCK_STREAM or * SOCK_SEQPACKET. * * === Parameter * * +backlog+ - the maximum length of the queue for pending connections. * * === Example 1 * require 'socket' * include Socket::Constants * socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) * sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' ) * socket.bind( sockaddr ) * socket.listen( 5 ) * * === Example 2 (listening on an arbitary port, unix-based systems only): * require 'socket' * include Socket::Constants * socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) * socket.listen( 1 ) * * === Unix-based Exceptions * On unix based systems the above will work because a new +sockaddr+ struct * is created on the address ADDR_ANY, for an arbitrary port number as handed * off by the kernel. It will not work on Windows, because Windows requires that * the +socket+ is bound by calling _bind_ before it can _listen_. * * If the _backlog_ amount exceeds the implementation-dependent maximum * queue length, the implementation's maximum queue length will be used. * * On unix-based based systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the * call to _listen_ fails: * * Errno::EBADF - the _socket_ argument is not a valid file descriptor * * Errno::EDESTADDRREQ - the _socket_ is not bound to a local address, and * the protocol does not support listening on an unbound socket * * Errno::EINVAL - the _socket_ is already connected * * Errno::ENOTSOCK - the _socket_ argument does not refer to a socket * * Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the _socket_ protocol does not support listen * * Errno::EACCES - the calling process does not have approriate privileges * * Errno::EINVAL - the _socket_ has been shut down * * Errno::ENOBUFS - insufficient resources are available in the system to * complete the call * * === Windows Exceptions * On Windows systems the following system exceptions may be raised if * the call to _listen_ fails: * * Errno::ENETDOWN - the network is down * * Errno::EADDRINUSE - the socket's local address is already in use. This * usually occurs during the execution of _bind_ but could be delayed * if the call to _bind_ was to a partially wildcard address (involving * ADDR_ANY) and if a specific address needs to be commmitted at the * time of the call to _listen_ * * Errno::EINPROGRESS - a Windows Sockets 1.1 call is in progress or the * service provider is still processing a callback function * * Errno::EINVAL - the +socket+ has not been bound with a call to _bind_. * * Errno::EISCONN - the +socket+ is already connected * * Errno::EMFILE - no more socket descriptors are available * * Errno::ENOBUFS - no buffer space is available * * Errno::ENOTSOC - +socket+ is not a socket * * Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the referenced +socket+ is not a type that supports * the _listen_ method * * === See * * listen manual pages on unix-based systems * * listen function in Microsoft's Winsock functions reference */ static VALUE sock_listen(sock, log) VALUE sock, log; { OpenFile *fptr; int backlog; rb_secure(4); backlog = NUM2INT(log); GetOpenFile(sock, fptr); if (listen(fileno(fptr->f), backlog) < 0) rb_sys_fail("listen(2)"); return INT2FIX(0); }
