NAME

       ServerLoop::serverLoop - A basic implementation of a server loop.

SYNOPSIS

       Void   serverLoop(   Protocol  proto,  Int  port,  Int  maxcon,  Void(NetHandle)  commfun,
       Void(NetHandle, Int) forkfun=forkfunDefault )

ARGUMENTS

       proto The protocol ( Net.Protocol (3kaya) ) to listen on

       port The port to listen on

       maxcon The maximum number of simultaneous connections to accept.

       commfun The function that processes each new connection. The  connection  will  be  closed
       automatically when this function exits, so it need not.

       forkfun  This  function  is run by the old process after the new process is forked, and is
       given the process ID of the new process. This argument may be omitted,  in  which  case  a
       default function that does nothing will be used.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  provides  a  basic  implementation  of  a  forking server loop, similar in
       architecture to sshd.
