accept
accept
The accept function checks for connections on an existing waited socket. When a
connection request arrives, accept creates a new socket to use for data transfer and
accepts the connection on the new socket.
new_socket
is the socket number for the new, connected socket that is created for data
transfer. This is the return value.
If the call is not successful, -1 is returned and the external variable errno
is set as indicated below in “Errors.”
socket
specifies the socket number, created by a previous socket call, to be used to
check for connections.
from_ptr
points, on return, to the IPX address data structure for the new connection.
from_len_ptr
points, initially, to a value indicating the size in bytes of the structure pointed to by
from_ptr. On return, it points to the actual length in bytes of the remote
sockaddr_nv data structure, pointed to by from_ptr.
