<para>
After the socket <parameter>socket</parameter> has been created
using <function>socket_create</function>, bound to a name with
<function>socket_bind</function>, and told to listen for connections
with <function>socket_listen</function>, this function will accept
incoming connections on that socket. Once a successful connection
is made, a new <classname>Socket</classname> instance is returned,
which may be used for communication. If there are multiple connections
queued on the socket, the first will be used. If there are no pending
connections, <function>socket_accept</function> will block until
a connection becomes present. If <parameter>socket</parameter>
has been made non-blocking using
<function>socket_set_blocking</function> or
<function>socket_set_nonblock</function>, &false; will be returned.
</para>
<para>
The <classname>Socket</classname> instance returned by
<function>socket_accept</function> may not be used to accept new
connections. The original listening socket
<parameter>socket</parameter>, however, remains open and may be
reused.

Returns a new <classname>Socket</classname> instance on success, or &false; on error. The actual
