Accept() in C - Socket Programming

I am trying to code a server using the following example code, but I'm having trouble with these statements in particular.

int Accept(int s, struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t *addrlen) 
{
     int rc;

     if ((rc = accept(s, addr, addrlen)) < 0)
          unix_error("Accept error");
      return rc;
}
...

socklen_t clientlen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage); 
int connectFd = Accept(listenfd, (SA *)&clientaddr, &clientlen)

If I were to use SA, it would pull up an error saying the following: 

server.c:175:36: error: ‘SA’ undeclared (first use in this function)  
   connectFd = accept(listenFd, ( SA *  )&clientaddr, &c);  

server.c:175:36: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for   each function it appears in   server.c:175:40: error:
expected expression before ‘)’ token  
   connectFd = accept(listenFd, (SA * ) &clientaddr, &c);  
server.c:175:18: error: too few arguments to function ‘accept’  
   connectFd = accept(listenFd, (SA *)&clientaddr, &c);

Is there any way to solve this?

The type SA is not defined in your program, the compiler could not find it, you might want to add following typedef to your program:

typedef struct sockaddr SA;
