Std.Net.serve

fn

This is a callable function.

What it does

Wait for connections, hand each to an action, and close it however the

action ended. The listener is closed when the loop stops.

The action answers whether to keep waiting, so a server stops by saying so

rather than by a flag something else has to set. count bounds how many

connections are served before the loop ends whatever the action says, so a

caller that wants one connection does not have to arrange to stop itself.

Read the signature

• The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
• Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
• & borrows a value for this call instead of moving or copying it.
• Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
• Result makes success and recoverable failure part of the function's type.
