Example

       asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service);

Accept a new connection.

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

Parameters:

  | peer | The socket into which the new connection will be accepted.
  | ec | Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.

Example

       asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service);
       ...

void asio::basic_socket_acceptor< Protocol, SocketAcceptorService >::async_accept | ( | basic_socket< protocol_type, SocketService > & | peer,
|  | AcceptHandler | handler |
| ) |  |  |

Start an asynchronous accept.

This function is used to asynchronously accept a new connection into a socket. The function call always returns immediately.

Parameters:

  | peer | The socket into which the new connection will be accepted. Ownership of the peer object is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it is valid until the handler is called.
  | handler | The handler to be called when the accept operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be:
       void handler(
         const asio::error_code& error // Result of operation.
       );
  Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using asio::io_service::post().

Example

       void accept_handler(const asio::error_code& error)
       {
         if (!error)
         {
           // Accept succeeded.

  | peer_endpoint | An endpoint object which will receive the endpoint of the remote peer.

Exceptions:

  | asio::system_error | Thrown on failure.

| ) |  |  |

Start an asynchronous accept.

This function is used to asynchronously accept a new connection into a socket, and additionally obtain the endpoint of the remote peer. The function call always returns immediately.

Parameters:

  | peer | The socket into which the new connection will be accepted. Ownership of the peer object is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it is valid until the handler is called.
  | peer_endpoint | An endpoint object into which the endpoint of the remote peer will be written. Ownership of the peer_endpoint object is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it is valid until the handler is called.
  | handler | The handler to be called when the accept operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be:
       void handler(
         const asio::error_code& error // Result of operation.
       );
  Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using asio::io_service::post().

asio::io_service& asio::basic_io_object< SocketAcceptorService >::io_service | ( |  | ) | `[inherited]`

Get the io_service associated with the object.

This function may be used to obtain the io_service object that the I/O object uses to dispatch handlers for asynchronous operations.

Returns:
  A reference to the io_service object that the I/O object will use to dispatch handlers. Ownership is not transferred to the caller.
