Type Method

anyIPv4(port:)

Creates an IPv4 wildcard address (0.0.0.0 / INADDR_ANY) for the given port.

static func anyIPv4(port: UInt16) -> SocketAddress

Parameters

port: A port number in host byte order (1-65535). Passing 0 asks the kernel to assign an ephemeral port, which you can retrieve via getsockname(2) — though swift-event does not currently expose that helper.

Return Value

A wildcard SocketAddress suitable for listen(on:backlog:loop:).

Discussion

Used when binding a listening server that should accept connections on any local interface. The wildcard semantics are defined by the platform kernel — see ip(4) / RFC 1122 §3.2.1.3 for details.
