=head1 DESCRIPTION
BIO_s_accept() returns the accept BIO method. This is a wrapper
round the platform's TCP/IP socket accept routines.
-Using accept BIOs TCP/IP connections can be accepted and data
+Using accept BIOs, TCP/IP connections can be accepted and data
transferred using only BIO routines. In this way any platform
specific operations are hidden by the BIO abstraction.

BIO_get_fd() and BIO_set_fd() can be called to retrieve or set
-the accept socket. See L<BIO_s_fd(3)|BIO_s_fd(3)>
+the accept socket. See L<BIO_s_fd(3)>
BIO_set_accept_port() uses the string B<name> to set the accept
port. The port is represented as a string of the form "host:port",
where "host" is the interface to use and "port" is the port.
-Either or both values can be "*" which is interpreted as meaning
-any interface or port respectively. "port" has the same syntax
+The host can be "*" which is interpreted as meaning
+any interface; "port" has the same syntax
as the port specified in BIO_set_conn_port() for connect BIOs,
that is it can be a numerical port string or a string to lookup
using getservbyname() and a string table.
BIO_set_accept_bios() can be used to set a chain of BIOs which
will be duplicated and prepended to the chain when an incoming
connection is received. This is useful if, for example, a
-buffering BIO is required for each connection.
+buffering or SSL BIO is required for each connection. The
+chain of BIOs must not be freed after this call, they will
+be automatically freed when the accept BIO is freed.
BIO_set_bind_mode() and BIO_get_bind_mode() set and retrieve
the current bind mode. If BIO_BIND_NORMAL (the default) is set
called, after the accept BIO has been setup, it will attempt
to create the accept socket and bind an address to it. Second
and subsequent calls to BIO_do_accept() will await an incoming

connections. This can be resolved by using BIO_pop() (see above)
and freeing up the accept BIO after the initial connection.
+If the underlying accept socket is non-blocking and BIO_do_accept() is
+called to await an incoming connection it is possible for
+BIO_should_io_special() with the reason BIO_RR_ACCEPT. If this happens
+then it is an indication that an accept attempt would block: the application
+should take appropriate action to wait until the underlying socket has
+accepted a connection and retry the call.

=head1 RETURN VALUES
-TBA
+BIO_do_accept(),
+BIO_set_accept_port(), BIO_set_nbio_accept(), BIO_set_accept_bios(),
+and BIO_set_bind_mode(), return 1 for success and 0 or -1 for failure.
+
+BIO_get_accept_port() returns the port name or NULL on error.
+
+BIO_get_bind_mode() returns the set of B<BIO_BIND> flags, or -1 on failure.
+
+BIO_new_accept() returns a BIO or NULL on error.
