       For a detailed example, see source file bandwith-server-many-up.c provided in tests

           ...

           ctx = modbus_new_tcp("127.0.0.1", 502);
           if (modbus_connect(ctx) == -1) {
               fprintf(stderr, "Connection failed: %s\n", modbus_strerror(errno));
               modbus_free(ctx);
               return -1;
           }

           /* Handle until 10 established connections */
           server_socket = modbus_tcp_listen(ctx, 10);

           /* Clear the reference set of socket */
           FD_ZERO(&refset);

           /* Add the server socket */
           FD_SET(server_socket, &refset);

           if (select(server_socket + 1, &refset, NULL, NULL, NULL) == -1) {
           }

           ...

           close(server_socket);
           modbus_free(ctx);
