by selecting it for read.
-.Pp
-For certain protocols which require an explicit confirmation,
-.Fn accept
-can be thought of as merely dequeuing the next connection
-request and not implying confirmation.
-Confirmation can be implied by a normal read or write on the new file
-descriptor, and rejection can be implied by closing the new socket.

-One can obtain user connection request data without confirming
-the connection by issuing a
-.Xr recvmsg 2

If it succeeds, it returns a non-negative integer that is a descriptor
