33 .Nd buffer incoming connections until data arrives
36 .Cd "pseudo-device accf_data"
38 This is a filter to be placed on a socket that will be using
40 to receive incoming connections.
42 It prevents the application from receiving the connected descriptor via
44 until data arrives on the connection.
46 If the accf_data accept filter is present in the kernel configuration,
47 this will enable the data accept filter
50 .Bd -literal -offset 0i
51 struct accept_filter_arg afa;
53 bzero(&afa, sizeof(afa));
54 strcpy(afa.af_name, "dataready");
55 setsockopt(sok, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ACCEPTFILTER, &afa, sizeof(afa));
62 The accept filter mechanism and the
63 accf_data filter were introduced in
67 by Coyote Point Systems and appeared in
70 This manual page and the filter were written by
