The ON SOCKLISTEN event triggers when a connection is made on a listening socket created with /socklisten

Synopsis

ON <level>:SOCKLISTEN:<matchtext>:<commands>

Parameters

<matchtext>The name of the socket you want event to trigger on.

<commands>The commands to be performed when the event listener's criteria is met.

Accepting a connection

Note: By design, you cannot prevent a socket from being accepted, as in, Windows accept the connection even before mIRC.

You can use /sockaccept <newsocket> to accept a socket, mIRC create the new socket.

Note: If a new connection occurs on a socket but there is no on socklisten event matching that socket, the connection is rejected.

Note: You should be checking for $sockerr before accepting the connection.

Examples

on *:socklisten:name:{
sockaccept myprefix $+ $ticks
}
