      </H2>
      <A NAME="95683"></A>
      <P>
         The FCGI_Accept function accepts a new request from the HTTP server and creates a CGI-compatible execution
         environment for the request.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95657"></A> If the application was invoked as a CGI program, the first call to FCGI_Accept is
         essentially a no-op and the second call returns -1. This causes a correctly coded FastCGI application to run a
         single request and exit, giving CGI behavior.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95658"></A> If the application was invoked as a FastCGI server, the first call to FCGI_Accept
         indicates that the application has completed its initialization and is ready to accept its first request.
         Subsequent calls to FCGI_Accept indicate that the application has completed processing its current request and
         is ready to accept a new request.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95659"></A> In completing the current request, FCGI_Accept may detect errors, such as a broken pipe
         to a client who has disconnected early. FCGI_Accept ignores such errors. An application that wishes to handle
         such errors should explicitly call fclose(stderr), then fclose(stdout); an EOF return from either one
         indicates an error.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95660"></A> After accepting a new request, FCGI_Accept assigns new values to the global variables
         stdin, stdout, stderr, and environ. After FCGI_Accept returns, these variables have the same interpretation as
         on entry to a CGI program.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95661"></A> In addition to the standard CGI environment variables, the environment variable
         <CODE>FCGI_ROLE</CODE> is always set to the role of the current request. The roles currently defined are
         <CODE>RESPONDER, AUTHORIZER</CODE>, and <CODE>FILTER</CODE>.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95662"></A> In the <CODE>FILTER</CODE> role, the additional variables <CODE>FCGI_DATA_LENGTH</CODE>
         and <CODE>FCGI_DATA_LAST_MOD</CODE> are also defined. See <CODE>FCGI_StartFilterData</CODE><CODE>(3</CODE>)
         for complete information.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95663"></A> The macros <CODE>FCGI_ToFILE</CODE> and <CODE>FCGI_ToFcgiStream</CODE> are provided to
         allow escape to native functions that use the types <CODE>FILE</CODE> or <CODE>FCGI_Stream</CODE>. In the case
         of <CODE>FILE</CODE>, functions would have to be separately compiled, since <CODE>fcgi_stdio.h</CODE> replaces
         the standard <CODE>FILE</CODE> with <CODE>FCGI_FILE</CODE>.

      <A NAME="95728"></A>
      <P>
         Enables a FastCGI Filter application to begin reading its filter input data from <CODE>stdin</CODE>.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95729"></A> In order to call <CODE>FCGI_StartFilterData</CODE>, the FastCGI application should have
         been invoked in the filter role (<CODE>getenv(&quot;FCGI_ROLE&quot;) == &quot;FILTER&quot;</CODE>), and should
         have read <CODE>stdin</CODE> to EOF, consuming the entire <CODE>FCGI_STDIN</CODE> data stream. The call to
         <CODE>FCGI_StartFilterData</CODE> positions stdin at the start of <CODE>FCGI_DATA</CODE>.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95730"></A> If the preconditions are not met (e.g., the application has not read <CODE>stdin</CODE>
         to EOF), <CODE>FCGI_StartFilterData</CODE> returns a negative result, and the application will get EOF on
         attempts to read from <CODE>stdin</CODE>.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95731"></A> The application can determine the number of bytes available on <CODE>FCGI_DATA</CODE> by
         performing <CODE>atoi(getenv(&quot;FCGI_DATA_LENGTH&quot;)</CODE>. If fewer than this many bytes are delivered
         on <CODE>stdin</CODE> after calling <CODE>FCGI_StartFilterData</CODE>, the application should perform an
         application-specific error response. If the application normally makes an update, most likely it should abort
         the update.
      </P>
      <P>
         <A NAME="95732"></A> The application can determine last modification time of the filter input data by
         performing <CODE>getenv(&quot;FCGI_DATA_LAST_MOD&quot;).</CODE> This allows applications to perform caching
         based on last modification time.

         The following example reads in all the client data, but ignores it. Then, the code calls
         <CODE>FCGI_StartFilterData</CODE>. Finally, the code reads in the file to be filtered and simply echos it back
         to the client.
