    <title>Description</title>
    <p>This function is a wrapper around the BSD socket <code>accept()</code> interface. It allows for more portability between UNIX-like and Microsoft Windows platforms.</p>
  </section>

  <section id="return">
    <title>Returns</title>
    <p>NULL upon failure to accept or timeout. A newly allocated <code>mongoc_socket_t</code> that should be released with <link xref="mongoco_socket_destroy">mongoc_socket_destroy()</link> on success.</p>
