NAME
       socket_accept6 - accept an IPv6 TCP connection on a socket

SYNTAX
       #include <socket.h>

       int socket_accept6(int s,char ip[16],uint16 *port,uint32 *scope_id);

DESCRIPTION
       When a TCP connection arrives on a listening TCP socket s, the socket becomes readable.

       socket_accept6 accepts the connection.  It sets ip and port to the client IP address and client TCP port and scope_id to the IPv6 scope ID.
       It creates a new socket for the connection, and returns a file descriptor pointing to the new socket; you can use the read and write system
       calls to transmit data through that file descriptor.

       If scope_id is the null pointer, socket_accept6 will discard the scope ID.

       If something goes wrong, socket_accept6 returns -1, setting errno appropriately, without creating a new socket.

EXAMPLE
	 #include <socket.h>

	 int s;
	 char ip[16];
	 uint16 port;
	 uint32 scope_id;

	 s = socket_tcp6();
	 socket_bind6(s,ip,port,scope_id);
	 socket_listen(s,16);
	 socket_accept6(s,ip,&port,&scope_id);
