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. |
