listen − listen for connections on a socket
#include <sys/socket.h>
int listen(int s, int backlog);
To accept connections, a socket is first created with socket(2), a willingness to accept incoming connections and a queue limit for incoming connections are specified with listen, and then the connections are accepted with accept(2). The listen call applies only to sockets of type SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_SEQPACKET.
The backlog parameter defines the maximum length the queue of pending connections may grow to. If a connection request arrives with the queue full the client may receive an error with an indication of ECONNREFUSED, or, if the underlying protocol supports retransmission, the request may be ignored so that retries may succeed.
On success, zero is returned. On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

The argument s is not a valid descriptor. |
ENOTSOCK
The argument s is not a socket.
EOPNOTSUPP
The socket is not of a type that supports the operation listen.
SVr4, 4.4BSD (the listen function call first appeared in 4.2BSD).
If the socket is of type af_inet, and the backlog argument is greater than the constant SO_MAXCONN (128 in 2.0.23), it is silently truncated to SO_MAXCONN. For portable applications don’t rely on this value since BSD (and at least some BSD derived systems) limit the backlog to 5.
