explain_accept4_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_accept4_or_die function is used to call the accept4(2) system call. On failure an explanation
will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_accept4(3) function, and then the process terminates
by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_accept4_on_error function is used to call the accept4(2) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_accept4(3) function, but still returns
to the caller.
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the accept4(2) system call.
sock_addr
The sock_addr, exactly as to be passed to the accept4(2) system call.
sock_addr_size
The sock_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the accept4(2) system call.
flags The flags, exactly as to be passed to the accept4(2) system call.
Example
The explain_accept4_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
int result = explain_accept4_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size, flags);
Name
explain_accept4_or_die - accept a connection on a socket and report errors
Return Value
The explain_accept4_or_die function only returns on success, see accept4(2) for more information. On
failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.
The explain_accept4_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped accept4(2) system
call.
