+    r"""Creates an TCP or UDP-server to listen for connections. It supports
+    both IPv4 and IPv6.
+
+    Arguments:
+        port(int): The port to connect to.
+            Defaults to a port auto-selected by the operating system.
+        bindaddr(str): The address to bind to.
+            Defaults to ``0.0.0.0`` / `::`.
+        fam: The string "any", "ipv4" or "ipv6" or an integer to pass to :func:`socket.getaddrinfo`.
+        typ: The string "tcp" or "udp" or an integer to pass to :func:`socket.getaddrinfo`.
+        callback: A function to be started on incoming connections. It should take a :class:`pwnlib.tubes.remote` as its only argument.
+
+    Examples:
+
+        >>> s = server(8888)
+        >>> client_conn = remote('localhost', s.lport)
+        >>> server_conn = s.next_connection()
+        >>> client_conn.sendline('Hello')
+        >>> server_conn.recvline()
+        'Hello\n'
+        >>> def cb(r):
+        ...     client_input = r.readline()
+        ...     r.send(client_input[::-1])
+        ...
+        >>> t = server(8889, callback=cb)
+        >>> client_conn = remote('localhost', t.lport)
+        >>> client_conn.sendline('callback')
