soAccept (Function)

The soAccept function will accept the first pending connection attempt, if present, in the queue of a listening socket.

A new socket will be created for the resulting connection.

On a blocking socket, the function will wait until an incoming connection attempt is received before returning.

With a non-blocking socket, the function will return immediately if no pending connection attempts are present. In this case soAccept will return -4.

The socket must be marked as listening for incoming connections with the soListen function before calling this function.

Input:

socket : SYSHANDLE

Handle to the socket.

Output:

remote : SYSHANDLE

Handle to the new socket.

Returns: INT

Declaration:

FUNCTION soAccept : INT;
VAR_INPUT
  socket : SYSHANDLE;
  remote : ACCESS SYSHANDLE;
END_VAR;
