Struct std::net::TcpListener [] [src]

pub struct TcpListener(_);
1.0.0

A structure representing a socket server.

Examples

fn main() { use std::net::{TcpListener, TcpStream}; use std::thread; let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:80").unwrap(); fn handle_client(stream: TcpStream) { // ... } // accept connections and process them, spawning a new thread for each one for stream in listener.incoming() { match stream { Ok(stream) => { thread::spawn(move|| { // connection succeeded handle_client(stream) }); } Err(e) => { /* connection failed */ } } } // close the socket server drop(listener); }
use std::net::{TcpListener, TcpStream};
use std::thread;

let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:80").unwrap();

fn handle_client(stream: TcpStream) {
    // ...
}

// accept connections and process them, spawning a new thread for each one
for stream in listener.incoming() {
    match stream {
        Ok(stream) => {
            thread::spawn(move|| {
                // connection succeeded
                handle_client(stream)
            });
        }
        Err(e) => { /* connection failed */ }
    }
}

// close the socket server
drop(listener);

Methods

impl TcpListener

fn bind<A: ToSocketAddrs>(addr: A) -> Result<TcpListener>

Creates a new TcpListener which will be bound to the specified address.

The returned listener is ready for accepting connections.

Binding with a port number of 0 will request that the OS assigns a port to this listener. The port allocated can be queried via the local_addr method.

The address type can be any implementor of ToSocketAddrs trait. See its documentation for concrete examples.

fn local_addr(&self) -> Result<SocketAddr>

Returns the local socket address of this listener.

fn try_clone(&self) -> Result<TcpListener>

Creates a new independently owned handle to the underlying socket.

The returned TcpListener is a reference to the same socket that this object references. Both handles can be used to accept incoming connections and options set on one listener will affect the other.

fn accept(&self) -> Result<(TcpStream, SocketAddr)>

Accept a new incoming connection from this listener.

This function will block the calling thread until a new TCP connection is established. When established, the corresponding TcpStream and the remote peer's address will be returned.

fn incoming(&self) -> Incoming

Returns an iterator over the connections being received on this listener.

The returned iterator will never return None and will also not yield the peer's SocketAddr structure.

fn set_ttl(&self, ttl: u32) -> Result<()>1.9.0

Sets the value for the IP_TTL option on this socket.

This value sets the time-to-live field that is used in every packet sent from this socket.

fn ttl(&self) -> Result<u32>1.9.0

Gets the value of the IP_TTL option for this socket.

For more information about this option, see set_ttl.

fn set_only_v6(&self, only_v6: bool) -> Result<()>1.9.0

Sets the value for the IPV6_V6ONLY option on this socket.

If this is set to true then the socket is restricted to sending and receiving IPv6 packets only. In this case two IPv4 and IPv6 applications can bind the same port at the same time.

If this is set to false then the socket can be used to send and receive packets from an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

fn only_v6(&self) -> Result<bool>1.9.0

Gets the value of the IPV6_V6ONLY option for this socket.

For more information about this option, see set_only_v6.

fn take_error(&self) -> Result<Option<Error>>1.9.0

Get the value of the SO_ERROR option on this socket.

This will retrieve the stored error in the underlying socket, clearing the field in the process. This can be useful for checking errors between calls.

fn set_nonblocking(&self, nonblocking: bool) -> Result<()>1.9.0

Moves this TCP stream into or out of nonblocking mode.

On Unix this corresponds to calling fcntl, and on Windows this corresponds to calling ioctlsocket.
