NNG_STREAM_LISTENER(5)

✨ NAME ✨

nng_stream_listener — a byte stream listener, bestie 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <nng/nng.h>

typedef struct nng_stream_listener nng_stream_listener;

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so real talk: an nng_stream_listener is a handle to a byte stream listener. What does that mean in group-chat terms? It's the thingy whose whole job is accepting incoming connections, and then creating the matching nng_stream from each one of those connections. Like, it's the door greeter at the party, and every guest who walks in gets turned into a stream. Iconic behavior, honestly. 👑

Note 🎀 Do not confuse this with the high-level nng_listener object, okay? The nng_stream_listener object is a low-level object made for raw byte stream connections. They are two completely different girlies. The way that one is high-level and one is low-level… they are not the same and you should not treat them like they are. 💅
