A server issues the ACCEPT call to accept a connection request from a client. The call points to a socket that was previously created with a SOCKET call and marked by a LISTEN call.
The ACCEPT call is a blocking call. When issued, the ACCEPT call:
Authorization: | Supervisor state or problem state, any PSW key. |
Dispatchable unit mode: | Task. |
Cross memory mode: | PASN = HASN. |
Amode: | 31-bit or 24-bit. Note: See "Addressability
mode (Amode) considerations" under CALL instruction API environmental restrictions and programming requirements.
|
ASC mode: | Primary address space control (ASC) mode. |
Interrupt status: | Enabled for interrupts. |
Locks: | Unlocked. |
Control parameters: | All parameters must be addressable by the caller and in the primary address space. |
Figure 1 shows an example of ACCEPT call instructions.
