/**
 * @class TDEServerSocket kserversocket.h kserversocket.h
 * @brief A server socket for accepting connections.
 *
 * This class provides functionality for creating a socket to
 * listen for incoming connections and subsequently accept them.
 *
 * To use this class, you must first set the parameters for the listening
 * socket's address, then place it in listening mode.
 *
 * A typical example would look like:
 * \code
 *   TQString service = "http";
 *   TDEServerSocket *ss = new TDEServerSocket(service);
 *   connect(ss, TQT_SIGNAL(readyAccept()), this, TQT_SLOT(slotReadyAccept()));
 *   connect(ss, TQT_SIGNAL(gotError(int)), this, TQT_SLOT(slotSocketError(int)));
 *   ss->listen();
 * \endcode
 * 
 * In this case, this class will place the socket into listening mode on the
 * service pointed to by @p service and will emit the @ref readyAccept signal
 * when a connection is ready for accepting. The called slot is responsible for
 * calling @ref accept.
 * 
 * The location of the services file (where @p service is looked up) 
 * is defined by _PATH_SERVICES in /usr/include/netdb.h.  This is
 * usually set to /etc/services.
 * See RFC 1700 for more information on services.
 * You can specify @p service as a port number directly, rather than as a service
 * name.  This is discouraged as it prevents the end user from easily modifying
 * the port number.
 *
 * For another example of usage, this below code attempts to make a connection on any port within a range:
 * \code
 *   TDEServerSocket *ss = new TDEServerSocket();
 *   ss->setFamily(KResolver::InetFamily);
 *   bool found = false;
 *   for( unsigned int port = firstport; port <= lastport; ++port) {
 *     ss->setAddress( TQString::number( port ) );
 *     bool success = ss->listen();
 *     if( found = ( success && ss->error() == 
 *                              TDESocketBase::NoError ) )
 *       break;
 *     ss->close();
 *   }
 *   if( !found ) {
 *     // Couldn't connect to any port.
 *   } else {
 *     connect(ss, TQT_SIGNAL(readyAccept()), this, TQT_SLOT(slotReadyAccept()));
 *     connect(ss, TQT_SIGNAL(gotError(int)), this, TQT_SLOT(slotSocketError(int)));
 *     ss->listen();
 *   }
 * \endcode
 *
 * The called slot slotReadyAccept() is responsible for calling
 * @ref accept.
 *
 * It is important to note that @ref accept can return either an
 * object of type KNetwork::KStreamSocket or
 * KNetwork::TDEBufferedSocket (default). If you want to accept a
 * non-buffered socket, you must first call setAcceptBuffered.
 *
 * @warning If you use TDEServerSocket in an auxiliary (non-GUI) thread,
 *          you need to accept only KNetwork::KStreamSocket objects.
 *
