34 .Nd buffer incoming connections until data arrives
37 .Cd options ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA
40 This is a filter to be placed on a socket that will be using
42 to receive incoming connections.
44 It prevents the application from receiving the connected descriptor via
46 until data arrives on the connection.
49 .Fa ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA
50 kernel option is also a module that can be enabled at runtime via
52 if the INET option has been compiled into the kernel.
54 Assuming ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA has been included in the kernel config
57 module has been loaded, this will enable the data accept filter

61 struct accept_filter_arg afa;
63 bzero(&afa, sizeof(afa));
64 strcpy(afa.af_name, "dataready");
65 setsockopt(sok, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ACCEPTFILTER, &afa, sizeof(afa));
72 The accept filter mechanism and the
74 filter were introduced in
77 This manual page and the filter were written by
