/*
* call-seq:
* socket.listen( int ) => 0
*
* Listens for connections, using the specified +int+ as the backlog. A call
* to _listen_ only applies if the +socket+ is of type SOCK_STREAM or
* SOCK_SEQPACKET.
*
* === Parameter
* * +backlog+ - the maximum length of the queue for pending connections.
*
* === Example 1
* require 'socket'
* include Socket::Constants
* socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 )
* sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' )
* socket.bind( sockaddr )
* socket.listen( 5 )
*
* === Example 2 (listening on an arbitary port, unix-based systems only):
* require 'socket'
* include Socket::Constants
* socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 )
* socket.listen( 1 )
*
* === Unix-based Exceptions
* On unix based systems the above will work because a new +sockaddr+ struct
* is created on the address ADDR_ANY, for an arbitrary port number as handed
* off by the kernel. It will not work on Windows, because Windows requires that
* the +socket+ is bound by calling _bind_ before it can _listen_.
*
* If the _backlog_ amount exceeds the implementation-dependent maximum
* queue length, the implementation's maximum queue length will be used.
*
* On unix-based based systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the
* call to _listen_ fails:
* * Errno::EBADF - the _socket_ argument is not a valid file descriptor
* * Errno::EDESTADDRREQ - the _socket_ is not bound to a local address, and
* the protocol does not support listening on an unbound socket
* * Errno::EINVAL - the _socket_ is already connected
* * Errno::ENOTSOCK - the _socket_ argument does not refer to a socket
* * Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the _socket_ protocol does not support listen
* * Errno::EACCES - the calling process does not have approriate privileges
* * Errno::EINVAL - the _socket_ has been shut down
* * Errno::ENOBUFS - insufficient resources are available in the system to
* complete the call
*
* === Windows Exceptions
* On Windows systems the following system exceptions may be raised if
* the call to _listen_ fails:
* * Errno::ENETDOWN - the network is down
* * Errno::EADDRINUSE - the socket's local address is already in use. This
* usually occurs during the execution of _bind_ but could be delayed
* if the call to _bind_ was to a partially wildcard address (involving
* ADDR_ANY) and if a specific address needs to be commmitted at the
* time of the call to _listen_
* * Errno::EINPROGRESS - a Windows Sockets 1.1 call is in progress or the
* service provider is still processing a callback function
* * Errno::EINVAL - the +socket+ has not been bound with a call to _bind_.
* * Errno::EISCONN - the +socket+ is already connected
* * Errno::EMFILE - no more socket descriptors are available
* * Errno::ENOBUFS - no buffer space is available
* * Errno::ENOTSOC - +socket+ is not a socket
* * Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the referenced +socket+ is not a type that supports
* the _listen_ method
*
* === See
* * listen manual pages on unix-based systems
* * listen function in Microsoft's Winsock functions reference
