`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.
