The %accept() function extracts the first connection on the queue of pending connections, creates a new socket, and allocates a new file descriptor.
Syntax
code = %accept(fd, &address, &port) |
Parameter(s)
fd |
File descriptor of the local socket returned by a previous call to the FlashBASIC C function %socket(). |
address |
Originating address of the incoming call. For IPv4 implementations: The address argument must be an integer. For IPv6 implementations: The address argument must be a char[xx] where xx specifies a buffer size of at least 46. |
port |
Originating port number or the incoming call. |
Description
To compile successfully, the statement cfunction socket.builtin must be included in the source code.
Upon successful completion, the new file descriptor is returned in code and the address and port FlashBASIC variables are updated.
In the case of an error, a value of -1 is returned and the FlashBASIC system(0) function is set to the value of errno.
A legal integer value must be assigned to the port variable and a legal integer value (IPv4) or char array (IPv6)must be assigned to the address variable before the call.
Example(s)
IPv4 Example:
cfunction socket.builtin include dm,bp,includes sysid.inc include dm,bp,unix.h socket.h * Create a socket fd=%socket(af$inet, sock$stream, 0) * Bind the socket to a local Ethernet port. * Use default address. if %bind(fd, af$inet, inaddr$any, 1024)<0 then crt ’bind failed’; stop end * Wait for incoming connection %listen(fd, 1) * Accept a connection address=0; port=0 rd2=%accept(fd, &address, &port) crt "Called by address ":address:", port #":port * Read data from the data link %recv(fd2, buffer, 1024) %closesocket(fd2) %closesocket(fd) |
IPv6 Example:
cfunction socket.builtin include dm,bp,includes sysid.inc include dm,bp,unix.h socket.h * Create a socket fd=%socket(af$inet6, sock$stream, 0) * Bind the socket to a local Ethernet port. * Use default address. if %bind(fd, af$inet6, inaddr$any, 1024)<0 then crt "bind failed"; stop end * Wait for incoming connection fd2sten(fd, 1) * Accept a connection char address[46] port=0 fd2=%accept(fd, &address, &port) crt "Called by address ":address:", port #":port * Read data from the data link %recv(fd2, buffer, 1024) %closesocket(fd2) %closesocket(fd) |
