== NAME

nng_stream_listener - byte stream listener

== SYNOPSIS

[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>

typedef struct nng_stream_listener nng_stream_listener;
----

== DESCRIPTION

(((IPC, listener)))
An `nng_stream_listener` is a handle to a byte stream "`listener`",
which is responsible for accepting incoming connections and creating
corresponding
xref:nng_stream.5.adoc[`nng_stream`] from them.

NOTE: The `nng_stream_listener` object is a low-level object for
raw byte stream connections,
and should not be confused with a high-level
xref:nng_listener.5.adoc[`nng_listener`] object.
