Once a socket is bound to its interface, we have to explicitly accept connections. This task is performed by the functions we document here.
Waits until a connection arrives on the (internet family) socket unconnected. Returns the file descriptor of the connection. These can be conveniently encapsulated using file descriptor streams; see sec-fds.
Waits until a connection arrives on the (unix family) socket unconnected. Returns the file descriptor of the connection. These can be conveniently encapsulated using file descriptor streams; see sec-fds.
:buffering
:timeout
:wait-max
