2452=item $fh = IO::AIO::accept4 $r_fh, $sockaddr, $sockaddr_maxlen, $flags
2453
2454Uses the GNU/Linux C<accept4(2)> syscall, if available, to accept a socket
2455and return the new file handle on success, or sets C<$!> and returns
2456C<undef> on error.
2457
2458The remote name of the new socket will be stored in C<$sockaddr>, which
2459will be extended to allow for at least C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets. If the
2460socket name does not fit into C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets, this is signaled
2461by returning a longer string in C<$sockaddr>, which might or might not be
2462truncated.
2463
2464To accept name-less sockets, use C<undef> for C<$sockaddr> and C<0> for
2465C<$sockaddr_maxlen>.
2466
2467The main reasons to use this syscall rather than portable C<accept(2)>
2468are that you can specify C<SOCK_NONBLOCK> and/or C<SOCK_CLOEXEC>
2469flags and you can accept name-less sockets by specifying C<0> for
2470C<$sockaddr_maxlen>, which is sadly not possible with perl's interface to
2471C<accept>.

2529should be C<IO::AIO::MFD_CLOEXEC>.

2531On success, the new memfd filehandle is returned, otherwise returns
