IPC_ACCEPT(3)		    libdill Library Functions		   IPC_ACCEPT(3)

NAME
     ipc_accept - accepts an incoming IPC connection

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <libdill.h>

	    int ipc_accept(
		int s,
		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.

     s: Socket created by ipc_listen.

     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 ipc_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
	    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);
