IP_ListenToService
IP_ListenToService — like IP_ListenToPort, but uses the service name.
Syntax
#include <cogent.h>
int IP_ListenToService( | char* | service, |
| | int | backlog); |
Arguments
- service
- The service name, as found in
/etc/services.
- backlog
- The number of connection requests that are allowed
to be simultaneously pending.
Returns
The file descriptor (socket), or
-1 and errno is set.
Description
This function wraps the
listen library call, and registers the
resulting file descriptor with the IP_Receive
function. Prior to calling listen, this
function looks up the service name to produce a port number which is
given to IP_ListenToPort.
