explain_listen_or_die − listen for connections on a socket and report errors
#include <libexplain/listen.h>
void explain_listen_or_die(int fildes, int backlog);
The explain_listen_or_die function is used to call the listen(2) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_listen(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
explain_listen_or_die(fildes, backlog);
|
fildes |
The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the listen(2) system call. |
||
|
backlog |
The backlog, exactly as to be passed to the listen(2) system call. |
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
listen for connections on a socket
explain listen(2) errors
|
terminate the calling process |
