why can't you do that?

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do. But this is what RRTCPListener does with
the fd returned from accept(2)

rr-tpclistener.c:131:
	tcpc = rr_tcp_connection_new_unconnected (NULL);

	rr_listener_add_connection (listener, RR_CONNECTION (tcpc));

	rr_tcp_connection_connect_fd (tcpc, fd, RR_ROLE_LISTENER, NULL);
	g_object_unref (G_OBJECT (tcpc));


After this roadrunner will take care of the new connection, exchange greetings,
start and close channels and finally close the fd.

Did this answer you question?
