SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       int listen(int sd, int backlog);

DESCRIPTION
       listen()	 puts  socket  sd into the listening state.  backlog number of
       incoming connections may be queued before new incoming connections  are
       refused.	  This	function  is  usually  called after bind(2) and before
       accept(2).

RETURN VALUES
       On success, this function returns 0. On error, -1 is returned and errno
       is set.

ERRORS

		      for the socket.

		      listening.

       [ENOSYS]	      The socket does not support listening.
