NAME

6       socket_accept6 - accept an IPv6 TCP connection on a socket
7

SYNTAX

9       #include <socket.h>
10
11       int socket_accept6(int s,char ip[16],uint16 *port,uint32 *scope_id);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       When  a  TCP connection arrives on a listening TCP socket s, the socket
15       becomes readable.
16
17       socket_accept6 accepts the connection.  It sets  ip  and  port  to  the
18       client  IP  address  and client TCP port and scope_id to the IPv6 scope
19       ID.  It creates a new socket for the connection,  and  returns  a  file
20       descriptor  pointing  to the new socket; you can use the read and write
21       system calls to transmit data through that file descriptor.
22
23       If scope_id is the null pointer, socket_accept6 will discard the  scope
24       ID.
25
26       If  something  goes  wrong,  socket_accept6  returns  -1, setting errno
27       appropriately, without creating a new socket.

EXAMPLE

31         #include <socket.h>
32
33         int s;
34         char ip[16];
35         uint16 port;
36         uint32 scope_id;
37
38         s = socket_tcp6();
39         socket_bind6(s,ip,port,scope_id);
40         socket_listen(s,16);
41         socket_accept6(s,ip,&port,&scope_id);
