.TH curl_easy_recv 3 "29 April 2008" "libcurl 7.18.2" "libcurl Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_easy_recv - receives raw data on an "easy" connection
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <curl/easy.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "CURLcode curl_easy_recv( CURL *" curl ", void *" buffer ","
|
|
.BI "size_t " buflen ", size_t *" n ");"
|
|
.ad
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function receives raw data from the established connection. You may use
|
|
it together with \fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP to implement custom protocols using
|
|
libcurl. This functionality can be particularly useful if you use proxies
|
|
and/or SSL encryption: libcurl will take care of proxy negotiation and
|
|
connection set-up.
|
|
|
|
\fBbuffer\fP is a pointer to your buffer that will get the received
|
|
data. \fBbuflen\fP is the maximum amount of data you can get in that
|
|
buffer. The variable \fBn\fP points to will receive the number of received
|
|
bytes.
|
|
|
|
To establish the connection, set \fBCURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3)\fP option before
|
|
calling \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP. Note that \fIcurl_easy_recv(3)\fP does not
|
|
work on connections that were created without this option.
|
|
|
|
You must ensure that the socket has data to read before calling
|
|
\fIcurl_easy_recv(3)\fP, otherwise the call will return \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP -
|
|
the socket is used in non-blocking mode internally. Use
|
|
\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with \fBCURLINFO_LASTSOCKET\fP to obtain the
|
|
socket; use your operating system facilities like \fIselect(2)\fP to check if
|
|
it has any data you can read.
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
Added in 7.18.2.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
On success, returns \fBCURLE_OK\fP, stores the received data into
|
|
\fBbuffer\fP, and the number of bytes it actually read into \fB*n\fP.
|
|
|
|
On failure, returns the appropriate error code.
|
|
|
|
If there is no data to read, the function returns \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP. Use your
|
|
operating system facilities to wait until the data is ready, and retry.
|
|
|
|
Reading exactly 0 bytes would indicate a closed connection.
|
|
|
|
If there's no socket available to use from the previous transfer, this function
|
|
returns CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
