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.
