 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
 @itemize
+@item
+On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), the descriptors returned by
+the @code{accept} function can not be used in calls to @code{read},
+@code{write}, and @code{close}; you have to use @code{recv}, @code{send},
+@code{closesocket} in these cases instead.
+@item
+On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), error codes for @code{accept}
+are not placed in @code{errno}, and @code{WSAGetLastError} must be
+used instead.

-This function is missing on some platforms:
-mingw.
+On BeOS, the descriptors returned by the @code{accept} function can not be used

 @item
 Some platforms don't have a @code{socklen_t} type; in this case this function's
 third argument type is @samp{int *}.
