L_LTNET_API L_INT L_InetServerInit(nPort, phComputer, pfnCallback, pUserData)

L_INT nPort;	/* port on which to listen */
L_COMP * phComputer;	/* address of variable to update */
INETCALLBACK pfnCallback;	/* pointer to a callback function */
L_VOID *pUserData;	/* user defined callback data */

Sets up a port to act as a server to which other computers can connect.

Parameter	Description
nPort	Port number on which to listen for incoming connections. Some commonly used values include:
	Value	Meaning
	0x015	FTP
	0x050	Web server
	0x077	News
	0x019	Mail
	0x017	Telnet
phComputer	Address of a variable to updated with the handle to the server computer
pfnCallback	Pointer to a callback function of type INETCALLBACK for receiving messages for phComputer. Use the function pointer to your callback function as the value of this parameter.
pUserData	Void pointer that you can use to pass one or more additional parameters that the callback function needs.
	To use this feature, assign a value to a variable or create a structure that contains as many fields as you need. Then, in this parameter, pass the address of the variable or structure, casting it to L_VOID . The callback function, which receives the address in its own pUserData* parameter, can cast it to a pointer of the appropriate data type to access your variable or structure.
	If the additional parameters are not needed, you can pass NULL in this parameter.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function returns immediately, and the INETCALLBACK function will be called when other computers attempt to connect to phComputer.

You must initialize the LEADTOOLS Peer-to-Peer DLL using L_InetStartUp before calling this function.
