Returns a future for a RawServerSocket
. When the future
completes the server socket is bound to the given address
and
port
and has started listening on it.
The address
can either be a String or an
InternetAddress. If address
is a String, bind will
perform a InternetAddress.lookup and use the first value in the
list. To listen on the loopback adapter, which will allow only
incoming connections from the local host, use the value
InternetAddress.LOOPBACK_IP_V4 or
InternetAddress.LOOPBACK_IP_V6. To allow for incoming
connection from the network use either one of the values
InternetAddress.ANY_IP_V4 or InternetAddress.ANY_IP_V6 to
bind to all interfaces or the IP address of a specific interface.
If an IP version 6 (IPv6) address is used, both IP version 6
(IPv6) and version 4 (IPv4) connections will be accepted. To
restrict this to version 6 (IPv6) only, use v6Only
to set
version 6 only.
If port
has the value 0
an ephemeral port will
be chosen by the system. The actual port used can be retrieved
using the port
getter.
The optional argument backlog
can be used to specify the listen
backlog for the underlying OS listen setup. If backlog
has the
value of 0
(the default) a reasonable value will be chosen by
the system.
The optional argument shared
specify whether additional binds
to the same address
, port
and v6Only
combination is
possible from the same Dart process. If shared
is true
and
additional binds are performed, then the incoming connections
will be distributed between that set of RawServerSocket
s. One
way of using this is to have number of isolates between which
incoming connections are distributed.
