Subject: [9fans] accept in dial(2)
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 20:30:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fa2bd26e06e99ec4303411b3e28ec90b@collyer.net> (raw)

There seems to be some confusion about which file descriptor
accept should take as its first argument: the one announce
returned, the one listen returned, or it doesn't matter.
A quick kernel grep suggests that only port/devsdp.c still
recognises the word "accept", per the comment

	write(ctl, buf, n); /* ignore return value, network might not need accepts */

at /sys/src/libc/9sys/announce.c:148.  dial(2) says
``Accept accepts a call received by listen'', which
isn't completely clear, but the example given uses
the fd returned by listen, which makes sense to me.
On the other hand, listen, listen1 and tftpd use the
fd returned by announce.

Does anybody know which fd accept should take, and if it
matters?
