Method: TCPServer#initialize

Defined in:

tcpserver.c

#new([hostname,]) ⇒ Object

Creates a new server socket bound to port.

If hostname is given, the socket is bound to it.

serv = TCPServer.new("127.0.0.1", 28561)
s = serv.accept
s.puts Time.now
s.close

Internally, TCPServer.new calls getaddrinfo() function to obtain addresses. If getaddrinfo() returns multiple addresses, TCPServer.new tries to create a server socket for each address and returns first one that is successful.
