NAME
     t_accept - accept a connect request

SYNOPSIS
     #include <tiuser.h>

     int t_accept(fd, resfd, call)
     int fd;
     int resfd;
     struct t_call *call;

DESCRIPTION
     This function is issued by a transport user to accept a connect request.
     fd identifies the local transport endpoint where the connect indication
     arrived, resfd specifies the local transport endpoint where the
     connection is to be established, and call contains information required
     by the transport provider to complete the connection.  call points to a
     t_call structure which contains the following members:

          struct netbuf addr;
          struct netbuf opt;
          struct netbuf udata;
          int sequence;

     netbuf is described in intro(3).  In call, addr is the address of the
     caller, opt indicates any protocol-specific parameters associated with
     the connection, udata points to any user data to be returned to the
     caller, and sequence is the value returned by t_listen that uniquely
     associates the response with a previously received connect indication.

     A transport user may accept a connection on either the same, or on a
     different, local transport endpoint than the one on which the connect
     indication arrived.  If the same endpoint is specified (that is,
     resfd=fd), the connection can be accepted unless the user has received
     other indications on that endpoint but has not responded to them (with
     t_accept or t_snddis).  For this condition, t_accept will fail and set
     t_errno to TBADF.

     If a different transport endpoint is specified (resfd!=fd), the endpoint
     must be bound to a protocol address and must be in the T_IDLE state (see
     t_getstate(3N)) before the t_accept is issued.

     For both types of endpoints, t_accept will fail and set t_errno to TLOOK
     if there are indications (for example, a connect or disconnect) waiting
     to be received on that endpoint.

     The values of parameters specified by opt and the syntax of those values
     are protocol specific.  The udata argument enables the called transport
     user to send user data to the caller and the amount of user data must not
     exceed the limits supported by the transport provider as returned by
     t_open or t_getinfo.  If the len (see netbuf in intro(3)) field of udata
     is zero, no data will be sent to the caller.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, a value
     of -1 is returned and t_errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     On failure, t_errno may be set to one of the following:

     [TBADF]            The specified file descriptor does not refer to a
                        transport endpoint, or the user is illegally accepting
                        a connection on the same transport endpoint on which
                        the connect indication arrived.

     [TOUTSTATE]        The function was issued in the wrong sequence on the
                        transport endpoint referenced by fd, or the transport
                        endpoint referred to by resfd is not in the T_IDLE
                        state.

     [TACCES]           The user does not have permission to accept a
                        connection on the responding transport endpoint or use
                        the specified options.

     [TBADOPT]          The specified options were in an incorrect format or
                        contained illegal information.

     [TBADDATA]         The amount of user data specified was not within the
                        bounds allowed by the transport provider.

     [TBADSEQ]          An invalid sequence number was specified.

     [TLOOK]            An asynchronous event has occurred on the transport
                        endpoint referenced by fd and requires immediate
                        attention.

     [TNOTSUPPORT]      This function is not supported by the underlying
                        transport provider.

     [TSYSERR]          A system error has occurred during execution of this
                        function.
