explain_accept_or_die - accept a connection on a socket and report
errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/accept.h> int explain_accept_or_die(int fildes, struct sockaddr *sock_addr, socklen_t *sock_addr_size);

The explain_accept_or_die function is used to call the accept(2) system
call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from explain_accept(3), and then the process terminates by calling
exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
- This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
- int fd = explain_accept_or_die(fildes, sock_addr, sock_addr_size);
- fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2) system
- call.
- sock_addr
- The sock_addr, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2) system call.
- sock_addr_size
- The sock_addr_size, exactly as to be passed to the accept(2) system call.
