NAME

       socket_accept4 - accept an IPv4 TCP connection on a socket

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/socket.h>

       int socket_accept4(int s,char ip[4],uint16 *port);

DESCRIPTION

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

       socket_accept4 accepts the connection.  It sets ip and port to the client IP address and client TCP port.
       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  something  goes wrong, socket_accept4 returns -1, setting errno appropriately, without creating a new
       socket.

EXAMPLE

         #include <libowfat/socket.h>

         int s;
         char ip[4];
         uint16 p;

         s = socket_tcp4();
         socket_bind4(s,ip,p);
         socket_listen(s,16);
         socket_accept4(s,ip,&p);
