45<p>Accepts incoming connections.</p><p>Retrieves the first new socket connection from the connection queue; creates a new socket with the same socket type, protocol, and address family as the specified socket; and returns the new socket descriptor. The original socket is left to continue receiving connection requests.</p><p>Unless the socket descriptor is set to blocking mode using the <a href="../../nn/socket/Fcntl.html"><CODE>Fcntl</CODE></a> function, <CODE>Accept</CODE> blocks so long as there are no unprocessed connections in the queue.</p><p>This function allocates a backlog of one item in place of the retrieved new socket, but if no backlog could be allocated due to insufficient memory or some other limitation, this function returns <a href="../../nn/socket/ENOMEM.html"><CODE>ENOMEM</CODE></a> whether or not there are any incoming connections.</p><!-- write here --></div>
