Memory-managed wrapper type.

Type class for types which can be safely cast to SocketListener, for instance with toSocketListener.

Cast to SocketListener, for types for which this is known to be safe. For general casts, use castTo.

Blocks waiting for a client to connect to any of the sockets added to the listener. Returns a SocketConnection for the socket that was accepted.

If sourceObject is not Nothing it will be filled out with the source object specified when the corresponding socket or address was added to the listener.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnumCancelled will be returned.

Since: 2.22

This is the asynchronous version of socketListenerAccept.

When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call socketListenerAcceptFinish to get the result of the operation.

Since: 2.22

Finishes an async accept operation. See socketListenerAcceptAsync

Since: 2.22

Blocks waiting for a client to connect to any of the sockets added to the listener. Returns the Socket that was accepted.

If you want to accept the high-level SocketConnection, not a Socket, which is often the case, then you should use socketListenerAccept instead.

If sourceObject is not Nothing it will be filled out with the source object specified when the corresponding socket or address was added to the listener.

If cancellable is not Nothing, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnumCancelled will be returned.

This is the asynchronous version of socketListenerAcceptSocket.

When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call socketListenerAcceptSocketFinish to get the result of the operation.

Creates a socket of type type and protocol protocol, binds it to address and adds it to the set of sockets we're accepting sockets from.

Note that adding an IPv6 address, depending on the platform, may or may not result in a listener that also accepts IPv4 connections. For more deterministic behavior, see socketListenerAddInetPort.

sourceObject 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.

If successful and effectiveAddress is non-Nothing then it will be set to the address that the binding actually occurred at. This is helpful for determining the port number that was used for when requesting a binding to port 0 (ie: "any port"). This address, if requested, belongs to the caller and must be freed.

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

Since: 2.22

Listens for TCP connections on any available port number for both IPv6 and IPv4 (if each is available).

This is useful if you need to have a socket for incoming connections but don't care about the specific port number.

sourceObject 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.

Since: 2.24

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

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

Since: 2.22

Adds socket to the set of sockets that we try to accept new clients from. The socket must be bound to a local address and listened to.

sourceObject 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.

The socket will not be automatically closed when the listener is finalized unless the listener held the final reference to the socket. Before GLib 2.42, the socket was automatically closed on finalization of the listener, even if references to it were held elsewhere.

Since: 2.22

Closes all the sockets in the listener.

Since: 2.22

Creates a new SocketListener with no sockets to listen for. New listeners can be added with e.g. socketListenerAddAddress or socketListenerAddInetPort.

Since: 2.22

Sets the listen backlog on the sockets in the listener. This must be called before adding any sockets, addresses or ports to the SocketListener (for example, by calling socketListenerAddInetPort) to be effective.

See socketSetListenBacklog for details

Since: 2.22

Construct a GValueConstruct with valid value for the “listen-backlog” property. This is rarely needed directly, but it is used by new.

Get the value of the “listen-backlog” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get socketListener #listenBacklog

Set the value of the “listen-backlog” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set socketListener [ #listenBacklog := value ]

Emitted when listener's activity on socket changes state. Note that when listener is used to listen on both IPv4 and IPv6, a separate set of signals will be emitted for each, and the order they happen in is undefined.

Since: 2.46

Connect a signal handler for the event signal, to be run after the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

after socketListener #event callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

Connect a signal handler for the event signal, to be run before the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

on socketListener #event callback
