=over =item accept NEWSOCKET,GENERICSOCKET X<accept> Accepts an incoming socket connect, just as accept(2) does. Returns the packed address if it succeeded, false otherwise. See the example in L<perlipc/"Sockets: Client/Server Communication">. On systems that support a close-on-exec flag on files, the flag will be set for the newly opened file descriptor, as determined by the value of $^F. See L<perlvar/$^F>. =back
