Run on the server, this function accepts a request for connecting to an existing socket found on the server. This function is used to create the communication channel between the server socket and the client socket.
This allows you to create a different communication channel for each client computer. Each one of these communication channels can be handled in an independent thread.
Remarks:
- If the client computer is using a WINDEV application to connect to this socket, this application will have to use SocketConnect.
- SocketAccept can be used with the SSL sockets.
- SocketAccept cannot be used with a UDP socket.
Reminder: A socket is a communication resource used by the applications to communicate between computers regardless of the network type.
