It will not bind to every +available IP address of the machine whether they are v4 or v6; on the +other hand, it can bind to every available IPv4 address (if <em>ip</em> +is <tt>0.0.0.0</tt>) or to every available IPv6 address (if <em>ip</em> +is <tt>::</tt>). Two instances of s6-tcpserver can cover every +available address. </li> +</ul> + +</body> +</html> |
