Arguments

sock_id

This is the socket ID returned by NetSock_Open()/socket() when the socket was created or by NetSock_Accept()/accept() when a connection was accepted.

...

Flag to select receive options; bit-field flags logically OR’d:

NET_SOCK_FLAG_NONE/0

No socket flags selected

NET_SOCK_FLAG_RX_DATA_PEEK/

 

MSG_PEEK

Receive socket data without consuming it

NET_SOCK_FLAG_RX_NO_BLOCK/

 

MSG_DONTWAIT

Receive socket data without blocking

...

In most cases, this flag would be set to NET_SOCK_FLAG_NONE/0.

...

Returned Value

Positive number of bytes received, if successful;

...

NET_SOCK_BSD_ERR_RX/-1, otherwise.

Blocking vs Non-Blocking

The default setting for µC/TCP-IP is blocking. However, this setting can be changed at compile time by setting the NET_SOCK_CFG_BLOCK_SEL (see section D-15-3) to one of the following values:

...

The current version of µC/TCP-IP selects blocking or non-blocking at compile time for all sockets. A future version may allow the selection of blocking or non-blocking at the individual socket level. However, each socket receive call can pass the NET_SOCK_FLAG_RX_NO_BLOCK/MSG_DONTWAIT flag to disable blocking on that call.

Required Configuration

NetSock_RxData()/NetSock_RxDataFrom() is available only if NET_CFG_TRANSPORT_LAYER_SEL is configured for TCP (see section D-12-1) and/or NET_UDP_CFG_APP_API_SEL is configured for sockets (see section D-13-1).

In addition, recv()/recvfrom() is available only if NET_BSD_CFG_API_EN is enabled (see section D-17-1).

Notes / Warnings

TCP sockets typically use NetSock_RxData()/recv(), whereas UDP sockets typically use NetSock_RxDataFrom()/recvfrom().
