TCP Server class. Listens to connections on a port and returns a StreamPeerTCP when got a connection.

Method Descriptions

  • bool is_connection_available ( ) const

Returns true if a connection is available for taking.


Listen on the “port” binding to “bind_address”.

If “bind_address” is set as “*” (default), the server will listen on all available addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6).

If “bind_address” is set as “0.0.0.0” (for IPv4) or “::” (for IPv6), the server will listen on all available addresses matching that IP type.

If “bind_address” is set to any valid address (e.g. “192.168.1.101”, “::1”, etc), the server will only listen on the interface with that addresses (or fail if no interface with the given address exists).


  • void stop ( )

Stop listening.


If a connection is available, return a StreamPeerTCP with the connection/
