7       errors
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <libexplain/accept.h>
11       int  explain_accept_or_die(int  fildes,  struct  sockaddr   *sock_addr,
12       socklen_t *sock_addr_size);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The explain_accept_or_die function is used to call the accept(2) system
16       call.  On failure an explanation will be printed  to  stderr,  obtained
17       from  explain_accept(3),  and  then  the  process terminates by calling
18       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
19
20       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to  the  fol‐
21       lowing example:
22              int fd = explain_accept_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size);
23
24       fildes  The  fildes,  exactly  as  to be passed to the accept(2) system
25               call.
26
27       sock_addr
28               The sock_addr, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2)  system
29               call.
30
31       sock_addr_size
32               The  sock_addr_size,  exactly  as to be passed to the accept(2)
33               system call.
34
35       Returns:
36               This function only returns on success, see accept(2)  for  more
37               information.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
