add_inet_port


Description:

public bool add_inet_port (uint16 port, Object? source_object) throws Error

Helper function for add_address that creates a TCP/IP socket listening on IPv4 and IPv6 (if supported) on the specified port on all interfaces.

source_object will be passed out in the various calls to accept to identify this particular source, which is useful if you're listening on multiple addresses and do different things depending on what address is connected to.

Call close to stop listening on port; this will not be done automatically when you drop your final reference to this, as references may be held internally.

Parameters:

this

a SocketListener

port

an IP port number (non-zero)

source_object

Optional Object identifying this source

Returns:

true on success, false on error.
