5 POSIX specification:@* @url{https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/accept.html}
9 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
12 On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), the descriptors returned by
13 the @code{accept} function cannot be used in calls to @code{read},
14 @code{write}, and @code{close}; you have to use @code{recv}, @code{send},
15 @code{closesocket} in these cases instead.
17 On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), error codes from this function
18 are not placed in @code{errno}, and @code{WSAGetLastError} must be used
21 On HP-UX 11, in 64-bit mode, when the macro @code{_HPUX_ALT_XOPEN_SOCKET_API}
22 is not defined, this function behaves incorrectly because it is declared
23 to take a pointer to a 64-bit wide @code{socklen_t} entity but in fact
24 considers it as a pointer to a 32-bit wide @code{unsigned int} entity.
27 Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
30 Some platforms don't have a @code{socklen_t} type; in this case this function's
31 third argument type is @samp{int *}.
33 On some platforms, this function's third argument type is @samp{void *},
34 not @samp{socklen_t *}:
