Name
accept
Synopsis
accept newsocket, genericsocket
Readies a server process to accept socket
connections from clients. Execution is suspended until a
connection is made, at which time the
newsocket filehandle is opened and
attached to the newly made connection. The function returns the
connected address if the call succeeds or false otherwise (and it
puts the error code into $!).
genericsocket must be a filehandle
already opened via the socket
function and bound to one of the server’s network
addresses.
