+         * This function is asynchronous. When the server starts listening, the `'listening'` event will be emitted. The last parameter `callback`will be added as a listener for the `'listening'`
+         * event.
+         *
+         * All `listen()` methods can take a `backlog` parameter to specify the maximum
+         * length of the queue of pending connections. The actual length will be determined
+         * by the OS through sysctl settings such as `tcp_max_syn_backlog` and `somaxconn`on Linux. The default value of this parameter is 511 (not 512).
+         *
+         * All {@link Socket} are set to `SO_REUSEADDR` (see [`socket(7)`](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html) for
+         * details).
+         *
+         * The `server.listen()` method can be called again if and only if there was an
+         * error during the first `server.listen()` call or `server.close()` has been
+         * called. Otherwise, an `ERR_SERVER_ALREADY_LISTEN` error will be thrown.

+         * One of the most common errors raised when listening is `EADDRINUSE`.
