NAME¶
ServerLoop::serverLoop - A basic implementation of a server loop.
SYNOPSIS¶
Void serverLoop( Protocol proto, Int port, Int maxcon, Void(NetHandle)
commfun, Void(NetHandle, Int) forkfun=forkfunDefault )
ARGUMENTS¶
proto The protocol (
Net.Protocol (3kaya) ) to listen on
port The port to listen on
maxcon The maximum number of simultaneous connections to accept.
commfun The function that processes each new connection. The connection
will be closed automatically when this function exits, so it need not.
forkfun This function is run by the old process after the new process is
forked, and is given the process ID of the new process. This argument may be
omitted, in which case a default function that does nothing will be used.
DESCRIPTION¶
This function provides a basic implementation of a forking server loop, similar
in architecture to sshd.
