TCP_ACCEPT(3)		    libdill Library Functions		   TCP_ACCEPT(3)

NAME
     tcp_accept - accepts an incoming TCP connection

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <libdill.h>

	    int tcp_accept(
		int s,
		struct ipaddr* addr,
		int64_t deadline);

DESCRIPTION
     TCP  protocol  is a reliable bytestream protocol for transporting data over
     network.  It is defined in RFC 793.

     This function accepts an incoming TCP connection.

     s: Socket created by tcp_listen.

     addr: Out parameter.  IP address of the connecting endpoint.  Can be NULL.

     deadline: A point in time when the operation should time out, in  millisec-
     onds.  Use the now function to get your current point in time.  0 means im-
     mediate  timeout, i.e., perform the operation if possible or return 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 tcp_close function.

     This  function is not available if libdill is compiled with --disable-sock-
     ets 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 below.

ERRORS
     * EBADF: Invalid handle.

     * ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.

     * EMFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the process are already
       open.

     * ENFILE:	The maximum number of file descriptors in the system are already
       open.

     * ENOMEM: Not enough memory.

     * ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

     * ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.

EXAMPLE
	    struct ipaddr addr;
	    ipaddr_local(&addr, NULL, 5555, 0);
	    int ls = tcp_listen(&addr, 10);
	    int s = tcp_accept(ls, NULL, -1);
	    bsend(s, "ABC", 3, -1);
	    char buf[3];
	    brecv(s, buf, sizeof(buf), -1);
	    tcp_close(s);
	    tcp_close(ls);
