NAME

socket_accept6_setcloseonexec - accept an IPv6 TCP connection on a socket

SYNTAX

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int socket_accept6_setcloseonexec(int s,char ip[16],uint16 *port,uint32 *scope_id);

DESCRIPTION

This is functionally equivalent to calling socket_accept4 and then calling io_closeonexec on the returned socket.

However, if may save a syscall or two and in the process avoid a race condition.

EXAMPLE

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int s;
char ip[16];
uint16 port;
uint32 scope_id;

s = socket_tcp6();
socket_bind6(s,ip,port,scope_id);
socket_listen(s,16);
socket_accept6_setcloseonexec(s,ip,&port,&scope_id);
