Source[det]tcp_accept(+Socket, -Slave, -Peer)
This predicate waits on a server socket for a connection request by a client. On success, it creates a new socket for the client and binds the identifier to Slave. Peer is bound to the IP-address of the client or the atom af_unix if Socket is an AF_UNIX socket (see unix_domain_socket/1).
