#### local::stream_protocol::acceptor

The UNIX domain acceptor type.

    typedef basic_socket_acceptor< stream_protocol > acceptor;

###### Types

Name | Description
--- | ---
rebind_executor | Rebinds the acceptor type to another executor.
broadcast | Socket option to permit sending of broadcast messages.
bytes_readable | IO control command to get the amount of data that can be read without blocking.
debug | Socket option to enable socket-level debugging.
do_not_route | Socket option to prevent routing, use local interfaces only.
enable_connection_aborted | Socket option to report aborted connections on accept.
endpoint_type | The endpoint type.
executor_type | The type of the executor associated with the object.
keep_alive | Socket option to send keep-alives.
linger | Socket option to specify whether the socket lingers on close if unsent data is present.
message_flags | Bitmask type for flags that can be passed to send and receive operations.
native_handle_type | The native representation of an acceptor.
out_of_band_inline | Socket option for putting received out-of-band data inline.
protocol_type | The protocol type.
receive_buffer_size | Socket option for the receive buffer size of a socket.
receive_low_watermark | Socket option for the receive low watermark.
reuse_address | Socket option to allow the socket to be bound to an address that is already in use.
send_buffer_size | Socket option for the send buffer size of a socket.
send_low_watermark | Socket option for the send low watermark.
shutdown_type | Different ways a socket may be shutdown.
wait_type | Wait types.

###### Member Functions

Name | Description
--- | ---
accept | Accept a new connection. — Accept a new connection and obtain the endpoint of the peer.
assign | Assigns an existing native acceptor to the acceptor.
async_accept | Start an asynchronous accept.
async_wait | Asynchronously wait for the acceptor to become ready to read, ready to write, or to have pending error conditions.
basic_socket_acceptor [constructor] | Construct an acceptor without opening it. — Construct an open acceptor. — Construct an acceptor opened on the given endpoint. — Construct a basic_socket_acceptor on an existing native acceptor. — Move-construct a basic_socket_acceptor from another. — Move-construct a basic_socket_acceptor from an acceptor of another protocol type.
bind | Bind the acceptor to the given local endpoint.
cancel | Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the acceptor.
close | Close the acceptor.
get_executor | Get the executor associated with the object.
get_option | Get an option from the acceptor.
io_control | Perform an IO control command on the acceptor.
is_open | Determine whether the acceptor is open.
listen | Place the acceptor into the state where it will listen for new connections.
local_endpoint | Get the local endpoint of the acceptor.
native_handle | Get the native acceptor representation.
native_non_blocking | Gets the non-blocking mode of the native acceptor implementation. — Sets the non-blocking mode of the native acceptor implementation.
non_blocking | Gets the non-blocking mode of the acceptor. — Sets the non-blocking mode of the acceptor.
open | Open the acceptor using the specified protocol.
operator= | Move-assign a basic_socket_acceptor from another. — Move-assign a basic_socket_acceptor from an acceptor of another protocol type.
release | Release ownership of the underlying native acceptor.
set_option | Set an option on the acceptor.
wait | Wait for the acceptor to become ready to read, ready to write, or to have pending error conditions.
~basic_socket_acceptor [destructor] | Destroys the acceptor.

###### Data Members

Name | Description
--- | ---
max_connections [static] | (Deprecated: Use max_listen_connections.) The maximum length of the queue of pending incoming connections.
max_listen_connections [static] | The maximum length of the queue of pending incoming connections.
message_do_not_route [static] | Specify that the data should not be subject to routing.
message_end_of_record [static] | Specifies that the data marks the end of a record.
message_out_of_band [static] | Process out-of-band data.
message_peek [static] | Peek at incoming data without removing it from the input queue.

The `basic_socket_acceptor` class template is used for accepting new socket connections.

###### Thread Safety

Distinct objects: Safe.

Shared objects: Unsafe.

###### Example

Opening a socket acceptor with the SO_REUSEADDR option enabled:

    asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(my_context);
    asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(asio::ip::tcp::v4(), port);
    acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol());
    acceptor.set_option(asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true));
    acceptor.bind(endpoint);
    acceptor.listen();
