     Accept a connection on a socket previously created by
     <function>stream_socket_server</function>.  If
     <parameter>timeout</parameter> is specified, the default
     socket accept timeout will be overridden with the time 
     specified in seconds.  The name (address) of the client
     which connected will be passed back in <parameter>peername</parameter>
     if included and available from the selected transport.
    </para>
    <simpara>
     <parameter>peername</parameter> can also be determined later
     using <function>stream_socket_get_name</function>.
    </simpara>
    <simpara>
     If the call fails, it will return &false;.

    <warning>
     <para>
      This function should not be used with UDP server sockets. Instead, use
      <function>stream_socket_recvfrom</function> and
      <function>stream_socket_sendto</function>.
