+ The following example, adapted from the NetworkTest plugin, shows a simple example of creating a
+ server listening on a TCP port using the cNetwork API. The server listens on port 9876 and for
+ each incoming connection it sends a welcome message and then echoes back whatever the client has
+ sent ("echo server").</p>
+ <p>
+ First, the callbacks for the listening server are defined. The most important of those is the
+ OnIncomingConnection() callback that must return the LinkCallbacks that will be used for the new
+ connection. In our simple scenario each connection uses the same callbacks, so a predefined
+ callbacks table is returned; it is, however, possible to define different callbacks for each
+ connection. This allows the callbacks to be "personalised", for example by the remote IP or the
+ time of connection. The OnAccepted() and OnError() callbacks only log that they occurred, there's
+ no processing needed for them.</p>
+ <p>
+ Finally, the cNetwork:Listen() API function is used to create the listening server. The status of
+ the server is checked and if it is successfully listening, it is stored in a global variable, so
+ that Lua doesn't garbage-collect it until we actually want the server closed.</p>
