Invalid strings: (empty string) [abc] (not valid IPv6 numeric address string) abc:65536 (invalid port number)

Parameters:
addr The new buffer containing just the hostname. On output, *addr will be NULL if no hostname/IP address was specfied.
scope_id The new buffer containing just the scope id. On output, *scope_id will be NULL if no scope id was specified.

char *  name,
char *  args 
)

Set an OS level accept filter.

Parameters:

apr_status_t apr_socket_addr_get ( apr_sockaddr_t **  sa,
apr_interface_e  which,
apr_socket_t sock 
)

Parameters:
sock The socket to read the data from.
buf The buffer to store the data in.
len On entry, the number of bytes to receive; on exit, the number of bytes received.
Remarks:
 This functions acts like a blocking read by default.  To change 
 this behavior, use apr_socket_timeout_set() or the APR_SO_NONBLOCK
 socket option.
 The number of bytes actually received is stored in argument 3.

It is possible for both bytes to be received and an APR_EOF or other error to be returned.

flags The flags to use
buf The buffer to use
len The length of the available buffer

Parameters:
sock The socket to send the data over.
buf The buffer which contains the data to be sent.
len On entry, the number of bytes to send; on exit, the number of bytes sent.
