MONGOC_SOCKET_ACCEPT(3)

✨ MONGOC_SOCKET_ACCEPT 💅

okay so bestie, you're about to meet mongoc_socket_accept from the libmongoc manual, section 3 🎀 — mwah, welcome to the group chat.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mongoc_socket_t *
mongoc_socket_accept (mongoc_socket_t *sock,
                      int64_t expire_at);

like, that's the whole flex 💖 two args, one return, no drama.

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• sock — a mongoc_socket_t. the main character socket, obviously 👑
• expire_at — an int64_t that's holding a timeout in milliseconds ⏱️ yes, milliseconds, not seconds, don't embarrass yourself.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this function is literally a wrapper around the BSD socket accept() interface 🔥 it's giving "i made it portable so you don't have to" energy ✨ it lets things run nicely across both UNIX-like platforms and Microsoft Windows, which is kind of iconic of it ngl.

---

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

• NULL — that's the vibe when it fails to accept, or when it times out 😭 sorry bestie.
• a newly allocated mongoc_socket_t — that's the slay outcome 💅 and it is your responsibility, so release it with mongoc_socket_destroy() when you're done. no leaving it lying around, periodt.

⚠️ heads up: on success you get a freshly allocated mongoc_socket_t — it's yours now. mongoc_socket_destroy() it. that's the whole assignment 💀
