Syntax:
CALL "SOCKET.FN3" .fcNToHS NETSHORT%, HOSTSHORT%
Description: This function converts a (2-byte) short from network byte order to host byte
order.
BSD4.4 socket API equivalent: This function is equivalent to the BSD4.4
socket API ntohs() function.
Parameters:
NETSHORT% Short in network byte order
Return value:
HOSTSHORT% Short in host byte order
Syntax:
CALL "SOCKET.FN3" .fcRecv SOCKFD%, RECVBUFF$[()],
RECVLEN%, RECVMODE%, RECVSIZE% [,RECVFLAG%]
Description: This function receives data from the IP address and port number con-
nected to the specified socket identifier into the specified buffer.
BSD4.4 socket API equivalent: This function is equivalent to the BSD4.4
socket API recv() function.
Parameters:
SOCKFD% Socket identifier
RECVBUFF$[()] Receive buffer
RECVLEN% Maximum number of bytes to receive
RECVMODE% Receive mode
RECVFLAG% Storage method (optional)
The receive buffer (
RECVBUFF$) can be either a string non-array or string
array variable. The maximum size for a string is 255 bytes; for a string
array, 4096.
The receive mode (
RECVMODE%) must be one of the following values:
The storage method (RECVFLAG%) is required for a string array buffer. It
is ignored for a string variable and new data will be written.
The storage method (
RECVFLAG%) must be one of the following values:
Note: If
RECVFLAG% is 0 or omitted, the user application program must
initialize the receive buffer string array variable before receiving any data.
Return value: RECVSIZE% Number of bytes received
.fcNToHS Convert network short (2 bytes) to host byte order
.fcRecv Receive data sent to the specified TCP socket
.soRvNrm
0 Normal
