.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/socket.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn accept "int s" "struct sockaddr * restrict addr" "socklen_t * restrict addrlen"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn paccept "int s" "struct sockaddr * restrict addr" "socklen_t * restrict addrlen" "const sigset_t * restrict sigmask" "int flags"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is a socket that has been created with
|
|
.Xr socket 2 ,
|
|
bound to an address with
|
|
.Xr bind 2 ,
|
|
and is listening for connections after a
|
|
.Xr listen 2 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
argument
|
|
extracts the first connection request on the queue of pending
|
|
connections, creates a new socket with the same properties of
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
and allocates a new file descriptor
|
|
for the socket.
|
|
If no pending connections are
|
|
present on the queue, and the socket is not marked
|
|
as non-blocking,
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
blocks the caller until a connection is present.
|
|
If the socket is marked non-blocking and no pending
|
|
connections are present on the queue,
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
returns an error as described below.
|
|
The accepted socket
|
|
may not be used
|
|
to accept more connections.
|
|
The original socket
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
remains open.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
is a result parameter that is filled in with
|
|
the address of the connecting entity,
|
|
as known to the communications layer.
|
|
The exact format of the
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
parameter is determined by the domain in which the communication
|
|
is occurring.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa addrlen
|
|
is a value-result parameter; it should initially contain the
|
|
amount of space pointed to by
|
|
.Fa addr ;
|
|
on return it will contain the actual length (in bytes) of the
|
|
address returned.
|
|
This call
|
|
is used with connection-based socket types, currently with
|
|
.Dv SOCK_STREAM .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is possible to
|
|
.Xr select 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr poll 2
|
|
a socket for the purposes of doing an
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
by selecting or polling it for read.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For certain protocols which require an explicit confirmation,
|
|
such as
|
|
.Tn ISO
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn DATAKIT ,
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
can be thought of
|
|
as merely dequeuing the next connection
|
|
request and not implying confirmation.
|
|
Confirmation can be implied by a normal read or write on the new
|
|
file descriptor, and rejection can be implied by closing the
|
|
new socket.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
One can obtain user connection request data without confirming
|
|
the connection by issuing a
|
|
.Xr recvmsg 2
|
|
call with an
|
|
.Fa msg_iovlen
|
|
of 0 and a non-zero
|
|
.Fa msg_controllen ,
|
|
or by issuing a
|
|
.Xr getsockopt 2
|
|
request.
|
|
Similarly, one can provide user connection rejection information
|
|
by issuing a
|
|
.Xr sendmsg 2
|
|
call with providing only the control information,
|
|
or by calling
|
|
.Xr setsockopt 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn paccept
|
|
function behaves exactly like
|
|
.Fn accept ,
|
|
but it also allows to set the following
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
on the returned file descriptor:
|
|
.Bl -column SOCK_NONBLOCK -offset indent
|
|
.It Dv SOCK_CLOEXEC
|
|
Set the close on exec property.
|
|
.It Dv SOCK_NONBLOCK
|
|
Sets non-blocking I/O.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It can also temporarily replace the signal mask of the calling thread if
|
|
.Fa sigmask
|
|
is a
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL
|
|
pointer, then the
|
|
.Fn paccept
|
|
function shall replace the signal mask of the caller by the set of
|
|
signals pointed to by
|
|
.Fa sigmask
|
|
before waiting for a connection, and shall restore the signal mask
|
|
of the calling thread before returning.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn paccept
|
|
calls return \-1 on error.
|
|
If they succeed, they return a non-negative
|
|
integer that is a descriptor for the accepted socket.
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
implementation makes the new file descriptor inherit file flags
|
|
(like
|
|
.Dv O_NONBLOCK )
|
|
from the listening socket.
|
|
It's a traditional behaviour for BSD derivative systems.
|
|
On the other hand, there are implementations which don't do so.
|
|
Linux is an example of such implementations.
|
|
Portable programs should not rely on either of the behaviours.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The socket is marked non-blocking and no connections
|
|
are present to be accepted.
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
The descriptor is invalid.
|
|
.It Bq Er ECONNABORTED
|
|
A connection has been aborted.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
parameter is not in a writable part of the
|
|
user address space.
|
|

|
|
The
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
call has been interrupted by a signal.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The socket has not been set up to accept connections (using
|
|
.Xr bind 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr listen 2 ) .
|
|
.It Bq Er EMFILE
|
|
The per-process descriptor table is full.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENFILE
|
|
The system file table is full.
|
|

|

|
