ACCF_DATA(9) Kernel Developer's Manual ACCF_DATA(9)

accf_databuffer incoming connections until data arrives

options INET
options ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA kldload accf_data

This is a filter to be placed on a socket that will be using () to receive incoming connections.

It prevents the application from receiving the connected descriptor via () until data arrives on the connection.

The ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA kernel option is also a module that can be enabled at runtime via kldload(8) if the INET option has been compiled into the kernel.

Assuming ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA has been included in the kernel config file or the accf_data module has been loaded, this will enable the data accept filter on the socket sok.

	struct accept_filter_arg afa;

	bzero(&afa, sizeof(afa));
	strcpy(afa.af_name, "dataready");
	setsockopt(sok, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ACCEPTFILTER, &afa, sizeof(afa));

setsockopt(2), accept_filter(9), accf_http(9)

The accept filter mechanism and the accf_data filter were introduced in FreeBSD 4.0.

This manual page and the filter were written by Alfred Perlstein.
