class TCPServer

Overview

A Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) server.

NOTE To use TCPServer, you must explicitly import it with require "socket"

Usage example:

require "socket"

def handle_client(client)
  message = client.gets
  client.puts message
end

server = TCPServer.new("localhost", 1234)
while client = server.accept?
  spawn handle_client(client)
end

Constructor Detail

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


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

Creates a TCPServer from an existing system file descriptor or socket handle.

This adopts fd into the IO system that will reconfigure it as per the event loop runtime requirements.

NOTE On Windows, the handle must have been created with WSA_FLAG_OVERLAPPED.

Class Method Detail

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

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, &) #

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? : TCPSocket | Nil #

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
