SOCKET_ACCEPT4_MAKENONBLOCKING_SETCLOSEONEXEC(3)

okay so bestie, welcome to the socket_acc...closeonexec(3) page from the Library Functions Manual — yes, the title is literally abbreviated like that 😭 — and the main-character function is socket_accept4_makenonblocking_setcloseonexec. Say it three times fast, I dare you 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

• socket_accept4_makenonblocking_setcloseonexec — accept an IPv4 TCP connection on a socket and set it to non-blocking I/O and close-on-exec.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int socket_accept4_makenonblocking_setcloseonexec(int s,char
ip[4],uint16 *port);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This one is functionally equivalent to calling socket_accept4 and then calling ndelay_on and io_tcloseonexec on the returned socket. That’s the whole vibe, fr fr.

The page literally says: “However, if may save a syscall or two and in the process avoid a race condition.” Yes, “if may” is right there in the original — we are not gaslighting you 💀. The meaning is that it may save a syscall or two and in the process avoid a race condition. Iconic efficiency, no cap ✨

🌸 EXAMPLE 🌸

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int s;
char ip[4];
uint16 p;

s = socket_tcp4();
socket_bind4(s,ip,p);
socket_listen(s,16);
socket_accept4_makenonblocking_setcloseonexec(s,ip,&p);

Cute sign-off 💖: the footer’s source/version/date situation is just the repeated socket_acc...closeonexec(3) — no actual date is printed here — so bye bestie, go accept some connections and slay 🌈💅
