[Boost-users] boost::asio acceptor::cancel() behavior.

Hi all,
I'm looking at the documentation for acceptor::cancel(), which states 
that it will:
"Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the acceptor.",

then in the detailed description states:
"This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and 
receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled 
operations will be passed the |boost::asio::error::operation_aborted| 
error. "

The wording is unclear to me.  What are send and receive operations 
associated with the acceptor?  Are these reads and writes performed 
using sockets that were connected through this acceptor, or just the 
network overhead required to perform accepts?

Thanks,
Jivan
