== DESCRIPTION
The `nng_listener_start()` function starts the listener _l_.
-This causes the listener to start accepting connections from remote
+This causes the listener to bind to the address it was created with,
+and to start accepting connections from remote
dialers. Each new connection results in a pipe, which will be attached
to the listener's socket.
+Normally, the act of "binding" to it's address is done
+synchronously, including any necessary name resolution. As a result,
+a failure, such as if the address is already in use, will be returned
+immediately. However, if the special value `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK` is
+supplied in _flags_, then this is done asynchronously; furthermore any
+failure to bind will be periodically reattempted in the background.
+
+TIP: While `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK` can help an application be more resilient,
+it also generally makes diagnosing failures somewhat more difficult.
+
Once a listener has started, it is generally not possible to change
it's configuration.
