+PR_AcceptRead
+=============
+
+Accepts a new connection and receives a block of data.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+   #include <prio.h>
+
+   PRInt32 PR_AcceptRead(
+     PRFileDesc *listenSock,
+     PRFileDesc **acceptedSock,
+     PRNetAddr **peerAddr,
+     void *buf,
+     PRInt32 amount,
+     PRIntervalTime timeout);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``listenSock``
+   A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing a socket descriptor
+   that has been called with the :ref:`PR_Listen` function, also known as
+   the rendezvous socket.
+``acceptedSock``
+   A pointer to a pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object. On return,
+   ``*acceptedSock`` points to the :ref:`PRFileDesc` object for the newly
+   connected socket. This parameter is valid only if the function return
+   does not indicate failure.
+``peerAddr``
+   A pointer a pointer to a :ref:`PRNetAddr` object. On return,
+   ``peerAddr`` points to the address of the remote socket. The
+   :ref:`PRNetAddr` object that ``peerAddr`` points to will be in the
+   buffer pointed to by ``buf``. This parameter is valid only if the
+   function return does not indicate failure.
+``buf``
+   A pointer to a buffer to hold data sent by the peer and the peer's
+   address. This buffer must be large enough to receive ``amount`` bytes
+   of data and two :ref:`PRNetAddr` structures (thus allowing the runtime
+   to align the addresses as needed).
+``amount``
+   The number of bytes of data to receive. Does not include the size of
+   the :ref:`PRNetAddr` structures. If 0, no data will be read from the
+   peer.
+``timeout``
+   The timeout interval only applies to the read portion of the
+   operation. :ref:`PR_AcceptRead` blocks indefinitely until the connection
+   is accepted; the read will time out after the timeout interval
+   elapses.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+-  A positive number indicates the number of bytes read from the peer.
+-  The value -1 indicates a failure. The reason for the failure can be
+   obtained by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_AcceptRead` accepts a new connection and retrieves the newly
+created socket's descriptor and the connecting peer's address. Also, as
+its name suggests, :ref:`PR_AcceptRead` receives the first block of data
+sent by the peer.
