68 struct accept_filter {

92 The callback that the kernel will do
93 once the connection is established.
94 It is the same as a socket upcall
95 and will be called when the connection is established
96 and whenever new data arrives on the socket,
97 unless the callback modifies the socket's flags.

113 the kernel will then disallow and further userland use of the filter.
117 function is used internally to locate which accept filter to use via the

123 function provides a simple way to avoid duplication of code
124 for accept filters which do not use the argument field to load
125 and unload themselves.
