Example
Accept a connection made to a newly created passive socket:

  > (let* ((passive-socket (make-passive-socket 5555))
           (connection (accept-connection passive-socket)))
       (close-passive-socket passive-socket)
       connection)

  >

Note
Connections should always be closed using close (from both sides) to free up operating-system resources when they are no longer needed.
