The sock_accept() function is used to accept a new incoming connection on a listening socket. It is similar to the accept function in POSIX.

When a connection is accepted, a new socket is created and returned. This new socket represents the communication channel with the client.

Notes

  • The sock_accept() function accepts a new incoming connection on a listening socket.
  • The function blocks until a connection request is received.
  • Upon successful acceptance of a connection, a new socket is created to handle communication with the client.
  • The file descriptor flags specified by fd_flags control the behavior of the new socket.
  • The address of the remote client, including the IP address and port number, is written to the memory location pointed to by ro_addr.
  • The specific behavior of the sock_accept() function may vary depending on the runtime environment and underlying networking implementation.
