Procedures

Procedure: run-server-any-port [#:port 1968]

Procedure: spawn-server-any-port [#:port 1968]

Returns two values, a port and a thread.

Starting with #:port, incremented by one at each attempt, these procedures search for the first available port value that can be used to create a server-socket, upon which they call run-server or spawn-server respectively (see REPL Servers), which create and run a REPL, making it available over the given server-socket.
