explain_accept_or_die - accept a connection on a socket and report errors
#include <libexplain/accept.h>
int explain_accept_or_die(int fildes, struct sockaddr *sock_addr, socklen_t
*sock_addr_size);
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.
- accept(2)
- accept a connection on a socket
- explain_accept(3)
- explain accept(2) errors
- exit(2)
- terminate the calling process
