gnutls_record_recv(3)            gnutls            gnutls_record_recv(3)

NAME         top

       gnutls_record_recv - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       ssize_t gnutls_record_recv(gnutls_session_t session, void * data,
       size_t data_size);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       void * data the buffer that the data will be read into

       size_t data_size
                   the number of requested bytes

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function has the similar semantics with recv().  The only
       difference is that it accepts a GnuTLS session, and uses
       different error codes.  In the special case that the peer
       requests a renegotiation, the caller will receive an error code
       of GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE.  In case of a client, this message may
       be simply ignored, replied with an alert
       GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION, or replied with a new handshake,
       depending on the client's will. A server receiving this error
       code can only initiate a new handshake or terminate the session.

       If EINTR is returned by the internal pull function (the default
       is recv()) then GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED will be returned.  If
       GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED or GNUTLS_E_AGAIN is returned, you must call
       this function again to get the data.  See also
       gnutls_record_get_direction().

RETURNS         top

       The number of bytes received and zero on EOF (for stream
       connections).  A negative error code is returned in case of an
       error.  The number of bytes received might be less than the
       requested  data_size .
