The accept(2) manpage says:
One can obtain user connection request data without confirming the con-
nection by issuing a recvmsg(2) call with an msg_iovlen of 0 and a non-
zero msg_controllen, or by issuing a getsockopt(2) request. Similarly,
one can provide user connection rejection information by issuing a
sendmsg(2) call providing only the control information, or by calling
setsockopt(2).
But this is not possible. There is no such code in recvmsg/sendmsg, and no
such sockopt. This would be a nice feature, but the handshake on a stream
socket should be completed already by the time an accept() call is made...
