Function EventLoop.createServer

A coroutine which creates a TCP server bound to host and port.

Prototype


Server createServer(
								

  Protocol delegate() protocolFactory,
								

  const(char[]) host = null,
								

  const(char[]) service = null,
								

  std.socket.AddressFamily addressFamily = UNSPECIFIED(),
								

  std.socket.AddressInfoFlags addressInfoFlags = cast(AddressInfoFlags)1,
								

  std.socket.Socket socket = null,
								

  int backlog = 100,
								

  asynchronous.events.SslContext sslContext = null,
								

  bool reuseAddress = true
								

);

Parameters

Name	Description
protocolFactory	is a callable returning a protocol instance.
host	if empty then all interfaces are assumed and a list of multiple sockets will be returned (most likely one for IPv4 and another one for IPv6).
service	`service` name or port number.
addressFamily	can be set to either AddressFamily.INET or AddressFamily.INET6 to force the `socket` to use IPv4 or IPv6. If not set it will be determined from `host` (defaults to AddressFamily.UNSPEC).
addressInfoFlags	a bitmask for getAddressInfo().
socket	can optionally be specified in order to use a preexisting `socket` object.
backlog	the maximum number of queued connections passed to listen() (defaults to 100).
sslContext	can be set to an SSLContext to enable SSL over the accepted connections.
reuseAddress	tells the kernel to reuse a local `socket` in TIME_WAIT state, without waiting for its natural timeout to expire. If not specified will automatically be set to true on UNIX.

Returns

a Server object which can be used to stop the service.
