6.2.3.6 listen
The listen
function is used for server operations with TCP
stream sockets. After calling the listen
API, the socket accepts a
connection request from a remote host. The listen
function causes a
SOCKET_MSG_LISTEN
event notification to be sent to the host after
the socket port is ready to indicate listen operation success or failure.
When a remote peer establishes a connection, a SOCKET_MSG_ACCEPT
event
notification is sent to the application.
