socket_accept() - accept a connection on a socket
SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
#include <socket_err.h>
int socket_accept( int s, string read_callback,
string write_callback );
DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
The argument s is a socket that has been created with
socket_create(3), bound to an address with socket_bind(3),
and is listening for connections after a socket_listen(3).
socket_accept() extracts the first connection on the queue
of pending connections, creates a new socket with the same
properties of s and allocates a new file descriptor for the
socket. If no pending connections are present on the queue,
socket_accept() returns an error as described below. The
accepted socket is used to read and write data to and from
the socket which connected to this one; it is not used to
accept more connections. The original socket s remains open
for accepting further connections.
The argument read_callback is the name of a function for the
driver to call when the new socket (not the accepting
socket) receives data. The write callback should follow
this format:
void read_callback(int fd)
Where fd is the socket which is ready to accept data.
The argument write_callback is the name of a function for
the driver to call when the new socket (not the accepting
socket) is ready to be written to. The write callback should
follow this format:
void write_callback(int fd)
Where fd is the socket which is ready to be written to.
Note: The close_callback of the accepting socket (not the
new socket) is called if the new socket closes unexpectedly,
i.e. not as the result of a socket_close(3) call. The close
callback should follow this format:
void close_callback(int fd)
Where fd is the socket which has closed.

socket_accept() returns a non-negative descriptor for the
accepted socket on success. On failure, it returns a
negative value. socket_error(3) can be used on the return
value to get a text description of the error.
