class TCPServer

Overview

A Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) server.

Usage example:

require "socket"

server = TCPServer.new("localhost", 1234)
loop do
  server.accept do |client|
    message = client.gets
    client << message # echo the message back
  end
end

Constructor Detail

def self.new(host : String, port : Int, backlog = SOMAXCONN, dns_timeout = nil, reuse_port = false) #

Binds a socket to the host and port combination.


[View source]
def self.new(family : Family = Family::INET) #

Creates a new TCPServer, waiting to be bound.


[View source]
def self.new(port : Int, backlog = SOMAXCONN, reuse_port = false) #

Creates a new TCP server, listening on all local interfaces (::).

Class Method Detail

def self.open(port : Int, backlog = SOMAXCONN, reuse_port = false, &block) #

Creates a new TCP server, listening on all interfaces, and yields it to the block. Eventually closes the server socket when the block returns.

Returns the value of the block.


[View source]
def self.open(host, port, backlog = SOMAXCONN, reuse_port = false, &block) #

Creates a new TCP server and yields it to the block. Eventually closes the server socket when the block returns.

Returns the value of the block.

Instance Method Detail

def accept? #

Accepts an incoming connection.

Returns the client TCPSocket or nil if the server is closed after invoking this method.

require "socket"

server = TCPServer.new(2022)
loop do
  if socket = server.accept?
    # handle the client in a fiber
    spawn handle_connection(socket)
  else
    # another fiber closed the server
    break
  end
end
