# NAME

accept - accept an incoming socket connect

# SYNOPSIS

accept NEWSOCKET,GENERICSOCKET

# DESCRIPTION

Accepts an incoming socket connect, just as the `accept(2)` system call does. Returns the packed address if it succeeded, false otherwise. See the example in Sockets: Client/Server Communication in the perlipc manpage.

On systems that support a close-on-exec flag on files, the flag will be set for the newly opened file descriptor, as determined by the value of $^F. See $^F in the perlvar manpage.
