The call returns \-1 on error.
If it succeeds, it returns a non-negative

+.Sh COMPATIBILITY
+This implementation makes the new file descriptor inherit file flags
+(like
+.Dv O_NONBLOCK )
+from the listening socket.
+It's a traditional behaviour for BSD derivative systems.
+On the other hand, there are implementations which don't do so.
+Linux is an example of such implementations.
+Portable programs should not rely on either of the behaviours.
