IPC_ACCEPT_MEM(3)	   libdill Library Functions	     IPC_ACCEPT_MEM(3)

NAME
       ipc_accept_mem -	accepts	an incoming IPC	connection

SYNOPSIS
	      #include <libdill.h>

	      int ipc_accept_mem(
		  int s,
		  struct ipc_storage* mem,
		  int64_t deadline);

DESCRIPTION
       IPC  protocol  is  a  bytestream	 protocol  for transporting data among
       processes on the	same machine.  It is an	equivalent to  POSIX  AF_LOCAL
       sockets.

       This function accepts an	incoming IPC connection.

       This  function allows to	avoid one dynamic memory allocation by storing
       the object in user-supplied memory.  Unless  you	 are  hyper-optimizing
       use ipc_accept instead.

       s: Socket created by ipc_listen.

       mem:  The  structure to store the newly created object in.  It must not
       be deallocated before the object	is closed.

       deadline: A point in time when the operation should time	out,  in  mil-
       liseconds.   Use	the now	function to get	your current point in time.  0
       means immediate timeout,	i.e., perform the operation if possible	or re-
       turn without blocking if	not.  -1 means no  deadline,  i.e.,  the  call
       will block forever if the operation cannot be performed.

       The socket can be cleanly shut down using ipc_close function.

       This  function  is  not	available  if  libdill is compiled with	--dis-
       able-sockets option.

RETURN VALUE
       In case of success the function returns handle of the  new  connection.
       In  case	of error it returns -1 and sets	errno to one of	the values be-
       low.

ERRORS
        EBADF:	Invalid	handle.

        ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.

        EMFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors	in the process are al-
	 ready open.

        ENFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors	in the system are  al-
	 ready open.

        ENOMEM: Not enough memory.

        ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

        ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.

EXAMPLE
	      int ls = ipc_listen("/tmp/test.ipc", 10);
	      int s = ipc_accept(ls, -1);
	      bsend(s, "ABC", 3, -1);
	      char buf[3];
	      brecv(s, buf, sizeof(buf), -1);
	      ipc_close(s);
	      ipc_close(ls);
