Set a socket to accept incoming connections. The socket must already be bound to a local address. If successful, incoming TCP connection requests addressed to the socket’s local address will be queued until accepted by the socket (see section C-13-1 “NetSockfunction NetSock_Accept() / accept() (TCP)”).
