Sockets::recv(3) Receive text data from a socket

SYNOPSIS

String recv( Socket s, Int maxlen=-1, Int timeout=1000000 )

ARGUMENTS

s The socket

maxlen The maximum number of bytes to receive. This must be a positive integer (the default is 1024), or -1 for no limit. Note that if the data to be received contains multi-byte characters, care must be taken to avoid ending receiving part-way through a multi-byte character.

timeout The time to wait for data in microseconds before giving up (the default is 1000000, or 1 second). -1 can be used to wait until data arrives.

DESCRIPTION
