accept - accept an incoming socket connect


NAME

accept - accept an incoming socket connect


SYNOPSIS

accept NEWSOCKET,GENERICSOCKET


DESCRIPTION

Accepts an incoming socket connect, just as the accept(2) system call does. Returns the packed address if it succeeded, false otherwise. See the example in Sockets: Client/Server Communication in the perlipc manpage.

On systems that support a close-on-exec flag on files, the flag will be set for the newly opened file descriptor, as determined by the value of $^F. See $^F in the perlvar manpage.
