X#

 1FUNCTION ServerTest3()   AS VOID PASCAL
 2LOCAL oSocket   AS CSocket
 3LOCAL oSockMsg  AS CSocket
 4LOCAL cData     AS STRING
 5LOCAL cFrom     AS STRING
 6LOCAL nPort     AS INT
 7oSocket  := CSocket{SOCK_STREAM}
 8IF oSocket:bind(7, NULL_STRING, AF_INET)
 9  oSocket:listen(1)
10  oSockMsg := oSocket:accept()
11  IF oSockMsg != NULL_OBJECT
12         cData := oSockMsg:GetRaw()
13  oSockMsg:GetPeerName(@cFrom, @nPort)
14  ? "Data received from ", cFrom, ;
15  ", Client     port: ", NTrim(nPort)
16  ? "Received data: ", cData
