tipc_accept(9)

💅 tipc_accept (9) — like, the kernel API manual page, bestie 🎀

okay so this is the tipc_accept page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a whole mood. it's short, it's sweet, it does exactly one thing, and it does it slayfully. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tipc_accept — wait for a connection request 🫶

like, literally just sit there and wait for somebody to slide into your DMs (except the DMs are a TIPC socket and the somebody is a peer connection request). no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int tipc_accept (struct socket *sock , struct socket *new_sock , struct
proto_accept_arg *arg );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. three args, one int return, main character energy only 🔥

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sock — the listening socket 👑 this is the one doing the listening, the one holding down the fort, the one with the queue. she's been waiting for this.
• new_sock — the new socket that is to be connected 🎀 this is the fresh baby socket that gets connected when the request comes through. new socket, new beginnings, iconic.
• arg — arguments for accept 💖 exactly what it sounds like: the accept arguments get handed over right here.

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• 0 on success 🥳 (we love a zero, we stan a zero)
• errno otherwise 😭 (something went sideways, and the error number will tell you which flavour of sideways)

ngl, keep an eye on that return value! 0 means we ate, anything else means we did not eat. check your errno, bestie 💀
