Struct TcpListener

pub struct TcpListener(/* private fields */);

A TCP socket server, listening for connections.

After creating a TcpListener by binding it to a socket address, it listens for incoming TCP connections. These can be accepted by calling accept or by iterating over the Incoming iterator returned by incoming.

The socket will be closed when the value is dropped.

The Transmission Control Protocol is specified in IETF RFC 793.

Examples

use std::net::{TcpListener, TcpStream};

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

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:80")?;

    // accept connections and process them serially
    for stream in listener.incoming() {
        handle_client(stream?);
    }
    Ok(())
}
