basic_socket_acceptor::accept (10 of 16 overloads)

Accept a new connection.

template<
    typename ExecutionContext>
Protocol::socket::template rebind_executor< typenameExecutionContext::executor_type >::other accept(
    ExecutionContext & context,
    boost::system::error_code & ec,
    constraint_t< is_convertible< ExecutionContext &, execution_context & >::value >  = 0);

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

context

The I/O execution 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
boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(my_context);
...
boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(acceptor.accept(my_context2, ec));
if (ec)
{
  // An error occurred.
}
