NAME

       socket_accept6 - accept an IPv6 TCP connection on a socket

SYNTAX

       #include <socket.h>

       int socket_accept6(int s,char ip[16],uint16 *port,uint32 *scope_id);

DESCRIPTION

       When a TCP connection arrives on a listening TCP socket s, the socket becomes readable.

       socket_accept6  accepts the connection.  It sets ip and port to the client IP address and client TCP port
       and scope_id to the IPv6 scope ID.  It creates a new socket  for  the  connection,  and  returns  a  file
       descriptor  pointing  to  the  new  socket;  you can use the read and write system calls to transmit data
       through that file descriptor.

       If scope_id is the null pointer, socket_accept6 will discard the scope ID.

       If something goes wrong, socket_accept6 returns -1, setting errno appropriately, without creating  a  new
       socket.

EXAMPLE

         #include <socket.h>

         int s;
         char ip[16];
         uint16 port;
         uint32 scope_id;

         s = socket_tcp6();
         socket_bind6(s,ip,port,scope_id);
         socket_listen(s,16);
         socket_accept6(s,ip,&port,&scope_id);
