174 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
175 \&\fIBIO_s_accept()\fR returns the accept \s-1BIO\s0 method. This is a wrapper
176 round the platform's \s-1TCP/IP\s0 socket accept routines.
178 Using accept BIOs, \s-1TCP/IP\s0 connections can be accepted and data
179 transferred using only \s-1BIO\s0 routines. In this way any platform
180 specific operations are hidden by the \s-1BIO\s0 abstraction.
182 Read and write operations on an accept \s-1BIO\s0 will perform I/O
183 on the underlying connection. If no connection is established
184 and the port (see below) is set up properly then the \s-1BIO\s0
185 waits for an incoming connection.
187 Accept BIOs support \fIBIO_puts()\fR but not \fIBIO_gets()\fR.
189 If the close flag is set on an accept \s-1BIO\s0 then any active
190 connection on that chain is shutdown and the socket closed when
191 the \s-1BIO\s0 is freed.
193 Calling \fIBIO_reset()\fR on a accept \s-1BIO\s0 will close any active
194 connection and reset the \s-1BIO\s0 into a state where it awaits another
197 \&\fIBIO_get_fd()\fR and \fIBIO_set_fd()\fR can be called to retrieve or set
198 the accept socket. See \fIBIO_s_fd\fR\|(3)
200 \&\fIBIO_set_accept_port()\fR uses the string \fBname\fR to set the accept
201 port. The port is represented as a string of the form \*(L"host:port\*(R",
202 where \*(L"host\*(R" is the interface to use and \*(L"port\*(R" is the port.
203 The host can be can be \*(L"*\*(R" which is interpreted as meaning
204 any interface; \*(L"port\*(R" has the same syntax
205 as the port specified in \fIBIO_set_conn_port()\fR for connect BIOs,
206 that is it can be a numerical port string or a string to lookup
207 using \fIgetservbyname()\fR and a string table.
209 \&\fIBIO_new_accept()\fR combines \fIBIO_new()\fR and \fIBIO_set_accept_port()\fR into
210 a single call: that is it creates a new accept \s-1BIO\s0 with port
213 \&\fIBIO_set_nbio_accept()\fR sets the accept socket to blocking mode
214 (the default) if \fBn\fR is 0 or non blocking mode if \fBn\fR is 1.
216 \&\fIBIO_set_accept_bios()\fR can be used to set a chain of BIOs which
217 will be duplicated and prepended to the chain when an incoming
218 connection is received. This is useful if, for example, a
219 buffering or \s-1SSL BIO\s0 is required for each connection. The
220 chain of BIOs must not be freed after this call, they will
221 be automatically freed when the accept \s-1BIO\s0 is freed.
223 \&\fIBIO_set_bind_mode()\fR and \fIBIO_get_bind_mode()\fR set and retrieve
224 the current bind mode. If \s-1BIO_BIND_NORMAL \s0(the default) is set
225 then another socket cannot be bound to the same port. If
226 \&\s-1BIO_BIND_REUSEADDR\s0 is set then other sockets can bind to the
227 same port. If \s-1BIO_BIND_REUSEADDR_IF_UNUSED\s0 is set then and
228 attempt is first made to use \s-1BIO_BIN_NORMAL,\s0 if this fails
229 and the port is not in use then a second attempt is made
230 using \s-1BIO_BIND_REUSEADDR.\s0
232 \&\fIBIO_do_accept()\fR serves two functions. When it is first
233 called, after the accept \s-1BIO\s0 has been setup, it will attempt
234 to create the accept socket and bind an address to it. Second
235 and subsequent calls to \fIBIO_do_accept()\fR will await an incoming
236 connection, or request a retry in non blocking mode.
239 When an accept \s-1BIO\s0 is at the end of a chain it will await an
240 incoming connection before processing I/O calls. When an accept
241 \&\s-1BIO\s0 is not at then end of a chain it passes I/O calls to the next
242 \&\s-1BIO\s0 in the chain.
244 When a connection is established a new socket \s-1BIO\s0 is created for
245 the connection and appended to the chain. That is the chain is now
246 accept\->socket. This effectively means that attempting I/O on
247 an initial accept socket will await an incoming connection then
250 If any additional BIOs have been set using \fIBIO_set_accept_bios()\fR
251 then they are placed between the socket and the accept \s-1BIO,\s0
252 that is the chain will be accept\->otherbios\->socket.
254 If a server wishes to process multiple connections (as is normally
255 the case) then the accept \s-1BIO\s0 must be made available for further
256 incoming connections. This can be done by waiting for a connection and
260 \& connection = BIO_pop(accept);
263 After this call \fBconnection\fR will contain a \s-1BIO\s0 for the recently
264 established connection and \fBaccept\fR will now be a single \s-1BIO\s0
265 again which can be used to await further incoming connections.
266 If no further connections will be accepted the \fBaccept\fR can
267 be freed using \fIBIO_free()\fR.
269 If only a single connection will be processed it is possible to
270 perform I/O using the accept \s-1BIO\s0 itself. This is often undesirable
271 however because the accept \s-1BIO\s0 will still accept additional incoming
272 connections. This can be resolved by using \fIBIO_pop()\fR (see above)
273 and freeing up the accept \s-1BIO\s0 after the initial connection.
275 If the underlying accept socket is non-blocking and \fIBIO_do_accept()\fR is
276 called to await an incoming connection it is possible for
277 \&\fIBIO_should_io_special()\fR with the reason \s-1BIO_RR_ACCEPT.\s0 If this happens
278 then it is an indication that an accept attempt would block: the application
279 should take appropriate action to wait until the underlying socket has
280 accepted a connection and retry the call.
282 \&\fIBIO_set_accept_port()\fR, \fIBIO_get_accept_port()\fR, \fIBIO_set_nbio_accept()\fR,
283 \&\fIBIO_set_accept_bios()\fR, \fIBIO_set_bind_mode()\fR, \fIBIO_get_bind_mode()\fR and
284 \&\fIBIO_do_accept()\fR are macros.
