NAME

       explain_accept_or_die - accept a connection on a socket and report errors

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_accept_or_die function is used to call the accept(2) system call.  On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_accept(3), and then the process  terminates  by  calling
       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
              int fd = explain_accept_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size);

       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2) system call.

       sock_addr
               The sock_addr, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2) system call.

       sock_addr_size
               The sock_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2) system call.

       Returns:
               This function only returns on success, see accept(2) for more information.  On failure, prints an
               explanation and exits.
