### Description

This function is deprecated. Use [`mg_get_server_ports()`](mg_get_server_ports.md) instead.

The function `mg_get_ports()` returns a list of ports the Civetweb server is listening on. The port numbers are stored in a buffer of integers which is supplied by the calling party. The function also stores information if SSL is used on the ports. This information is stored in a second buffer which should be capable of storing the same amount of items as the ports buffer.

The function returns the number of ports actually stored in the buffer.
