		// 
		// ``listen_on()`` will change the listen port and/or the listen interface. If the
		// session is already listening on a port, this socket will be closed and a new socket
		// will be opened with these new settings. The port range is the ports it will try
		// to listen on, if the first port fails, it will continue trying the next port within
		// the range and so on. The interface parameter can be left as 0, in that case the
		// os will decide which interface to listen on, otherwise it should be the ip-address
		// of the interface you want the listener socket bound to. ``listen_on()`` returns the
		// error code of the operation in ``ec``. If this indicates success, the session is
		// listening on a port within the specified range. If it fails, it will also
		// generate an appropriate alert (listen_failed_alert_).
		// 
		// If all ports in the specified range fails to be opened for listening, libtorrent will
		// try to use port 0 (which tells the operating system to pick a port that's free). If
		// that still fails you may see a listen_failed_alert_ with port 0 even if you didn't
		// ask to listen on it.
		// 
		// It is possible to prevent libtorrent from binding to port 0 by passing in the flag
		// ``session::no_system_port`` in the ``flags`` argument.
		// 
		// The interface parameter can also be a hostname that will resolve to the device you
		// want to listen on. If you don't specify an interface, libtorrent may attempt to
		// listen on multiple interfaces (typically 0.0.0.0 and ::). This means that if your
		// IPv6 interface doesn't work, you may still see a listen_failed_alert_, even though
		// the IPv4 port succeeded.
		// 
		// The ``flags`` parameter can either be 0 or ``session::listen_reuse_address``, which
		// will set the reuse address socket option on the listen socket(s). By default, the
		// listen socket does not use reuse address. If you're running a service that needs
		// to run on a specific port no matter if it's in use, set this flag.
		// 
		// If you're also starting the DHT, it is a good idea to do that after you've called
		// ``listen_on()``, since the default listen port for the DHT is the same as the tcp
		// listen socket. If you start the DHT first, it will assume the tcp port is free and
		// open the udp socket on that port, then later, when ``listen_on()`` is called, it
		// may turn out that the tcp port is in use. That results in the DHT and the bittorrent
		// socket listening on different ports. If the DHT is active when ``listen_on`` is
		// called, the udp port will be rebound to the new port, if it was configured to use
		// the same port as the tcp socket, and if the listen_on call failed to bind to the
		// same port that the udp uses.
		// 
		// If you want the OS to pick a port for you, pass in 0 as both first and second.
		// 
		// The reason why it's a good idea to run the DHT and the bittorrent socket on the same

		// 
		// ``pop_alerts()`` pops all pending alerts in a single call. In high performance environments
		// with a very high alert churn rate, this can save significant amount of time compared to
		// popping alerts one at a time. Each call requires one round-trip to the network thread. If
		// alerts are produced in a higher rate than they can be popped (when popped one at a time)
		// it's easy to get stuck in an infinite loop, trying to drain the alert queue. Popping the entire
		// queue at once avoids this problem.
		// 
		// However, the ``pop_alerts`` function comes with significantly more responsibility. You pass
		// in an *empty* ``std::dequeue<alert*>`` to it. If it's not empty, all elements in it will
		// be deleted and then cleared. All currently pending alerts are returned by being swapped
		// into the passed in container. The responsibility of deleting the alerts is transferred
		// to the caller. This means you need to call delete for each item in the returned dequeue.
		// It's probably a good idea to delete the alerts as you handle them, to save one extra
		// pass over the dequeue.
		// 
		// Alternatively, you can pass in the same container the next time you call ``pop_alerts``.
		// 
		// ``wait_for_alert`` blocks until an alert is available, or for no more than ``max_wait``
		// time. If ``wait_for_alert`` returns because of the time-out, and no alerts are available,
		// it returns 0. If at least one alert was generated, a pointer to that alert is returned.
		// The alert is not popped, any subsequent calls to ``wait_for_alert`` will return the
		// same pointer until the alert is popped by calling ``pop_alert``. This is useful for
		// leaving any alert dispatching mechanism independent of this blocking call, the dispatcher
		// can be called and it can pop the alert independently.
		// 
		// In the python binding, ``wait_for_alert`` takes the number of milliseconds to wait as an integer.

		// To control the max number of alerts that's queued by the session, see
		// ``session_settings::alert_queue_size``.
