WsCreate Procedure

Creates a socket that is bound to a specific protocol.

[ ASocket = ] WsCreate ( [enProtocol] [,lFlags] )

The WsCreate procedure syntax has the following parts:

Name	Type	Description
ASocket	Val ASocket	If no error occurs, WsCreate returns a descriptor referencing the new socket. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned
enProtocol	Val enumAWsProtocol	The protocol for the connection.
lFlags	Val Long	Optional. The socket creation flag. Passing 0 will create Ipv4 socket, passing 4 will cause the socket to be created for IPv6 address. (ATEasy 2024)

enumAWSProtocol can be one of the following:

The WsCreate function causes a socket descriptor and any related resources to be allocated and bound to a specific transport service provider.

The following example creates a socket that is bound to the IPv4 address and TCP/IP protocol:

! Open a socket:

socket1=WsCreate(aWsTcpIp, 0)

! Associate a local host with a socket at a local port:

WsBind(socket1, lPort, lHost)

! Set the Socket to listen for an incoming connection from a client:

WsListen(socket1)

! Attempts to return a read/write socket to the remote client in twenty seconds:

Socket2=WsAccept(socket1, 20000)
