== NAME

nng_stream_listener_accept - accept incoming byte stream connection

== SYNOPSIS

[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>

void nng_stream_listener_accept(nng_stream_listener *l, nng_aio *aio);
----

== DESCRIPTION

The `nng_stream_listener_accept()` attempts to accept an incoming byte stream
connection from a remote peer, using the listener _l_.
The operation is completed asynchronously, using _aio_.

This operation can only be done after the listener is already
xref:nng_stream_listener_listen.3str.adoc[listening].

If a connection is successfully established, the _aio_ will have the
resulting
xref:nng_stream.5.adoc[`nng_stream`] object stored as its first output,
which can be retrieved with
xref:nng_aio_get_output.3.adoc[`nng_aio_get_output()`].

== RETURN VALUES

None.

== ERRORS

[horizontal]
`NNG_ECANCELED`:: The operation was aborted.
`NNG_ECLOSED`:: The listener is closed.
`NNG_ECONNRESET`:: The connection was reset by the peer.
`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient free memory exists.
`NNG_ESTATE`:: The listener is not not listening.
