# CheckSocket

![Build Status](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/CheckSocket/workflows/CI/badge.svg)

A very simple Raku function to test if a TCP socket is listening on a given address or

a UNIX domain socket on the specified path

## Description

This module provides a very simple mechanism to determine whether

something is listening on a TCP socket at the given port and address,

or UNIX domain socket at a specified path.  This is primarly for the

convenience of testing where there may be a dependency on an external

network service.  For example:

     use Test;

     use CheckSocket;

     if not check-socket(80, "localhost") {

	      skip-all "no web server";

         exit;

     }

	# or

	use Test;

	use CheckSocket;

	# Start some socket server concurrently

	if wait-socket(80, "localhost") {

		# do some tests

	}

	else {

		skip-all "server didn't start in time";

	}
