ACCEPT(2)                     System Calls Manual                    ACCEPT(2)

NAME
       accept - accepts incoming connections on a socket

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       int accept(int sd, struct sockaddr * addr, socklen_t * addr_len);

DESCRIPTION
       accept()  accepts  a  new incoming connection on a listening socket sd.
       The structure pointed to by addr is filled in with the address  of  the
       peer, and addr_len is set to the length of the address of the peer.

RETURN VALUES
       On  success,  this  function  returns  a numeric socket descriptor.  On
       error, -1 is returned and errno is set.

ERRORS
       [EOPNOTSUPP]   The socket does not support accept(2)  (example:  a  UDP
                      socket).

       [ENOTSOCK]     The sd argument is not a socket.

       [EINVAL]       The socket is not listening or in an invalid state.
