basic_socket_acceptor::accept (6 of 12 overloads)

Accept a new connection.

Protocol::socket accept(
    boost::system::error_code & ec);

This function is used to accept a new connection from a peer. The function call will block until a new connection has been accepted successfully or an error occurs.

This overload requires that the Protocol template parameter satisfy the AcceptableProtocol type requirements.

Parameters

ec

Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.

Return Value

On success, a socket object representing the newly accepted connection. On error, a socket object where is_open() is false.

Example
boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_context);
...
boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(acceptor.accept(ec));
if (ec)
{
  // An error occurred.
}
