This is signaled by closing the activation channel passed to 6 the constructor. 7 8 The maximum amount of queued connections depends on the configuration of your 9 kernel (typically called SOMAXXCON) and cannot be configured in Go with the 10 net package. See `src/net/sock_platform.go` in the Go tree or consult your 11 kernel's manual. 12 13 activator := make(chan struct{}) 14 buffer, err := NewListenBuffer("tcp", "localhost:4000", activator) 15 if err != nil { 16 panic(err) 17 } 18 19 // will block until activator has been closed or is sent an event 20 client, err := buffer.Accept() 21 22 Somewhere else in your application once it's been booted: 23 24 close(activator) 25 26 `buffer.Accept()` will return the first client in the kernel listening queue, or 27 continue to block until a client connects or an error occurs.
