Method Descriptions¶
bool is_connection_available ( ) const
Returns true
if a connection is available for taking.
bool is_listening ( ) const
Returns true
if the server is currently listening for connections.
Error listen ( int port, String bind_address="*" )
Listen on the port
binding to bind_address
.
If bind_address
is set as "*"
(default), the server will listen on all available addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6).
If bind_address
is set as "0.0.0.0"
(for IPv4) or "::"
(for IPv6), the server will listen on all available addresses matching that IP type.
If bind_address
is set to any valid address (e.g. "192.168.1.101"
, "::1"
, etc), the server will only listen on the interface with that addresses (or fail if no interface with the given address exists).
void stop ( )
Stops listening.
StreamPeerTCP take_connection ( )
If a connection is available, returns a StreamPeerTCP with the connection.
