		<method name="get_local_port" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the local port this server is listening to.

		<method name="listen">
			<return type="int" enum="Error" />
			<param index="0" name="port" type="int" />
			<param index="1" name="bind_address" type="String" default="&quot;*&quot;" />
			<description>
				Listen on the [param port] binding to [param bind_address].
				If [param bind_address] is set as [code]"*"[/code] (default), the server will listen on all available addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6).
				If [param bind_address] is set as [code]"0.0.0.0"[/code] (for IPv4) or [code]"::"[/code] (for IPv6), the server will listen on all available addresses matching that IP type.
				If [param bind_address] is set to any valid address (e.g. [code]"192.168.1.101"[/code], [code]"::1"[/code], etc.), the server will only listen on the interface with that address (or fail if no interface with the given address exists).
