Method
GioSocketListeneradd_address
Declaration
gboolean
g_socket_listener_add_address (
GSocketListener* listener,
GSocketAddress* address,
GSocketType type,
GSocketProtocol protocol,
GObject* source_object,
GSocketAddress** effective_address,
GError** error
)
Description
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 g_socket_listener_add_inet_port().
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.
If successful and effective_address
is non-NULL
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 g_socket_listener_close()
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.
