receive_bytes_from
Description:
public Bytes receive_bytes_from (out SocketAddress address, size_t size, int64 timeout_us, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
Receive data (up to size bytes) from a socket.
This function is a variant of [method@Gio.Socket.receive_from] which returns a [struct@GLib.Bytes] rather than a plain buffer.
If address is non-null then address will be set equal to the source address of the
received packet.
The address is owned by the caller.
Pass `-1` to timeout_us to block indefinitely until data is received (or the connection is closed, or there is an error). Pass `0`
to use the default timeout from [property@Gio.Socket:timeout], or pass a positive number to wait for that many microseconds for data before
returning `G_IO_ERROR_TIMED_OUT`.
Parameters:
| this |
a Socket |
| address |
return location for a SocketAddress |
| size |
the number of bytes you want to read from the socket |
| timeout_us |
the timeout to wait for, in microseconds, or `-1` to block indefinitely |
| cancellable |
a Cancellable, or `NULL` |
Returns:
|
a bytes buffer containing the received bytes, or `NULL` on error |
