void  POP3c_MsgRetrieve (NET_SOCK_ID   sock,
                         CPU_INT32U    msg_nbr,
                         CPU_CHAR     *dest_buf,
                         CPU_INT32U    buf_size,
                         CPU_BOOLEAN   del_msg,
                         NET_ERR      *perr);

sock

Socket ID returned by POP3c_Connect().

Size of dest_buf.

Notes / Warnings

  • The msg_nbr argument starts at the value ‘1’. Message ‘0’ does not exist.
  • The client software is responsible for providing a large enough buffer in order to contain the whole message. Failure to do so might lead to runtime problems. If the buffer passed is too small for a given message, only the first buf_size - 1 bytes will be copied, followed by a ‘\0’. See POP3c_RespServerMulti() for more information.
