get-port

Get an available port

Usage

* Get the first available port in range 1024 <-> 65535

use get_port;

fn main() {
    let port = get_port::get_port().unwrap();
}

* Get a port in a specific range

use get_port;

fn main() {
    let port = get_port::get_port_in_range(get_port::PortRange { min: 5000, max: 6000 }).unwrap();
}

* Check if specific port(s) is/are available, returning the first one or falling back to an available port in range 1024 <-> 65535

use get_port;

fn main() {
    let port = get_port::get_port_prefer(vec![20, 60, 6943]).unwrap(); // Will return 6943 if available, as 0 <-> 1024 are system ports.
}

Future

• Add get_port_prefer, used to supply (a list of) prefered port(s)
  • falls back to get_port (which runs a boundless port availability check through PortRange::default())
    • • Add get_port_prefer_or_range
• Add get_port_except to exclude certain port(s)
• Write meaningful tests?
