SOCKET_ACCEPT6_MAKENONBLOCKING_SETCLOSEONEXEC(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to socket_acc...closeonexec(3) from the Library Functions Manual — yes, the title is a whole mouthful and it ate 💅

socket_accept6_makenonblocking_setcloseonexec — accept an IPv6 TCP connection on a socket and set it to non-blocking I/O and close-on-exec. iconic behavior, honestly 🎀

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int socket_accept6_makenonblocking_setcloseonexec(int s,char
ip[4],uint16 *port,uint16* scope_id);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is functionally equivalent to calling socket_accept6 and then calling ndelay_on and io_tcloseonexec on the returned socket. like, same energy, same result 💖

However, if may save a syscall or two and in the process avoid a race condition — yes, that's literally how the original words it, and the vibe is very "trust me bestie" 😭🔥 no cap, fewer syscalls and no race condition is a slay.

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int s;
char ip[16];
uint16 p;
uint16 scope_id;

s = socket_tcp6();
socket_bind6(s,ip,p,scope_id);
socket_listen(s,16);
socket_accept6_makenonblocking_setcloseonexec(s,ip,&p,&scope_id);

copy it exactly, bestie — the ip[16] here and the ip[4] in the signature are both giving main character energy, so we keep them as written 🫶💀
