socket_accept6(3)	    Library Functions Manual	       socket_accept6(3)

NAME
     socket_accept6 - accept an IPv6 TCP connection on a socket

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/socket.h>

     int socket_accept6(int s,char ip[16],uint16 *port,uint32 *scope_id);

DESCRIPTION
     When  a  TCP connection arrives on a listening TCP socket s, the socket be-
     comes readable.

     socket_accept6 accepts the connection.  It sets ip and port to  the  client
     IP  address and client TCP port and scope_id to the IPv6 scope ID.  It cre-
     ates a new socket for the connection, and returns a file descriptor  point-
     ing  to  the  new	socket;  you  can use the read and write system calls to
     transmit data through that file descriptor.

     If scope_id is the null pointer, socket_accept6 will discard the scope ID.

     If something goes wrong, socket_accept6 returns -1, setting errno appropri-
     ately, without creating a new socket.

EXAMPLE
       #include <libowfat/socket.h>

       int s;
       char ip[16];
       uint16 port;
       uint32 scope_id;

       s = socket_tcp6();
       socket_bind6(s,ip,port,scope_id);
       socket_listen(s,16);
       socket_accept6(s,ip,&port,&scope_id);
