Description
resource
socket_create_listen ( int port [, int backlog] )
This function is meant to ease the task of creating a new socket which
only listens to accept new connections.
socket_create_listen() creates a new socket resource of
type AF_INET listening on all
local interfaces on the given port waiting for new connections.
The backlog parameter defines the maximum length
the queue of pending connections may grow to.
SOMAXCONN may be passed as
backlog parameter, see
socket_listen() for more information.
socket_create_listen() returns a new socket resource
on success or FALSE on error. The error code can be retrieved with
socket_last_error(). This code may be passed to
socket_strerror() to get a textual explanation of the
error.
