+PR_Accept
+=========
+
+Accepts a connection on a specified socket.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+   #include <prio.h>
+
+   PRFileDesc* PR_Accept(
+     PRFileDesc *fd,
+     PRNetAddr *addr,
+     PRIntervalTime timeout);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``fd``
+   A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing the rendezvous
+   socket on which the caller is willing to accept new connections.
+``addr``
+   A pointer to a structure of type :ref:`PRNetAddr`. On output, this
+   structure contains the address of the connecting entity.
+``timeout``
+   A value of type :ref:`PRIntervalTime` specifying the time limit for
+   completion of the accept operation.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+-  Upon successful acceptance of a connection, a pointer to a new
+   :ref:`PRFileDesc` structure representing the newly accepted connection.
+-  If unsuccessful, ``NULL``. Further information can be obtained by
+   calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The socket ``fd`` is a rendezvous socket that has been bound to an
+address with :ref:`PR_Bind` and is listening for connections after a call
+to :ref:`PR_Listen`. :ref:`PR_Accept` accepts the first connection from the
+queue of pending connections and creates a new socket for the newly
+accepted connection. The rendezvous socket can still be used to accept
+more connections.
+
+If the ``addr`` parameter is not ``NULL``, :ref:`PR_Accept` stores the
+address of the connecting entity in the :ref:`PRNetAddr` object pointed to
+by ``addr``.
+
+:ref:`PR_Accept` blocks the calling thread until either a new connection is
+successfully accepted or an error occurs. If the timeout parameter is
+not ``PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT`` and no pending connection can be accepted
+before the time limit, :ref:`PR_Accept` returns ``NULL`` with the error
+code ``PR_IO_TIMEOUT_ERROR``.
