socket-stream-internet-passive

A TCP socket waiting for a connection. The address of this socket is a 32 bit IP number of the network interface along with a 16 bit port number. This socket isn't a stream - you can't write to it or read from it because it isn't connected to anything. You can call close on it however. Note that instances should be created with make-socket rather than make-instance. make-socket will select the appropriate socket class based on its arguments.

See socket for a list of socket classes. See socket.htm for information on the Allegro CL socket interface.
