Accept a new connection.

Protocol::socket accept(
    asio::io_context & io_context,
    asio::error_code & ec);

This function is used to accept a new connection from a peer. The function call will block until a new connection has been accepted successfully or an error occurs.

This overload requires that the Protocol template parameter satisfy the AcceptableProtocol type requirements.

Parameters

io_context: The io_context object to be used for the newly accepted socket.
ec: Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.

Return Value

On success, a socket object representing the newly accepted connection. On error, a socket object where is_open() is false.

Example

asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_context);
...
asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(acceptor.accept(io_context2, ec));
if (ec)
{
  // An error occurred.
}
