G_OBJECT_CLASS (g_socket_listener_parent_class)
* useful if you're listening on multiple addresses and do
* different things depending on what address is connected to.
*
+ * The @socket will not be automatically closed when the @listener is finalized
+ * unless the listener held the final reference to the socket. Before GLib 2.42,
+ * the @socket was automatically closed on finalization of the @listener, even
+ * if references to it were held elsewhere.

* Returns: %TRUE on success, %FALSE on error.
