What is Linux accept() System Call Overview about?

The accept() system call extracts the first pending connection on a listening socket and returns a new socket for communication. It creates a new connected socket, returning a file descriptor. The address of the connecting peer is returned in addr. accept4() is similar but allows setting socket flags on the new file descriptor. Errors can occur if no pending connections, invalid arguments, resource limits reached, or network errors.
