Begin accepting connections on the specified `port` and `hostname` . If the
`hostname` is omitted, the server will accept connections on any IPv6 address
(`::`) when IPv6 is available, or any IPv4 address (`0.0.0.0`) otherwise. Use a
port value of `0` to have the operating system assign an available port.
(`::`) when IPv6 is available, or any IPv4 address (`0.0.0.0`) otherwise.
Omit the port argument, or use a port value of `0` , to have the operating system
assign a random port, which can be retrieved by using `server.address().port`
after the `'listening'` event has been emitted.
Backlog is the maximum length of the queue of pending connections.
The actual length will be determined by the OS through sysctl settings such as
