   The default value for :c:macro:`NRF_SO_REUSEADDR` is ``off``, that is, reuse of local addresses is not permitted.
 
 NRF_SO_RCVTIMEO
-   Set a timeout value for the :c:func:`nrf_recv` and :c:func:`nrf_recvfrom` operations.
+   Set a timeout value for the :c:func:`nrf_recv`, :c:func:`nrf_recvfrom` and :c:func:`nrf_accept` operations.
    This option accepts an :c:struct:`nrf_timeval` structure with a number of seconds and microseconds specifying the limit on how long to wait for an input operation to complete.
    If a receive operation has blocked for this much time without receiving additional data, it returns with a partial count, or ``errno`` is set to :c:macro:`NRF_EAGAIN` or :c:macro:`NRF_EWOULDBLOCK` if no data were received.
-   The default for this option is the value ``0``, which indicates that a receive operation will not time out.
+   If an accept operation has blocked for this much time without receiving an incoming connection, it returns ``-1`` and ``errno`` is set to :c:macro:`NRF_EAGAIN`.
+   The default for this option is the value ``0``, which indicates that a receive or accept operation will not time out.
