Author: jilles Date: Tue Oct 1 21:17:18 2013 New Revision: 255980 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/255980 Log: accept(2): Update portability note for accept4(). The accept(2) man page warns that O_NONBLOCK and other properties on the new socket may vary across implementations. However, this issue only applies to accept() and not to accept4(). On the other hand, accept4() is not commonly available yet.
