{{fbdoc item="ret"}}

{{fbdoc item="desc"}}
	##**Tcp Accept**## waits for the next incoming connection on a TCP server file number.  It chooses a free file number for the accepted client and returns it to the program.  The returned file number should be closed with ##[[KeyPgClose|Close]]## when the connection is no longer needed.

	The server file number remains open and may be passed to ##**Tcp Accept**## again to accept another connection.
