gnutls_record_recv — API function

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

ssize_t gnutls_record_recv(gnutls_session_t session, void * data, size_t data_size);

Arguments

gnutls_session_t session

is a gnutls_session_t type.

void * data

the buffer that the data will be read into

size_t data_size

the number of requested bytes

Description

This function has the similar semantics with recv().  The only difference is that it accepts a GnuTLS session, and uses different error codes. In the special case that the peer requests a renegotiation, the caller will receive an error code of GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE.  In case of a client, this message may be simply ignored, replied with an alert GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION, or replied with a new handshake, depending on the client's will. A server receiving this error code can only initiate a new handshake or terminate the session.

If EINTR is returned by the internal pull function (the default is recv()) then GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED will be returned.  If GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED or GNUTLS_E_AGAIN is returned, you must call this function again to get the data.  See also gnutls_record_get_direction().

Returns

The number of bytes received and zero on EOF (for stream connections).  A negative error code is returned in case of an error.   The number of bytes received might be less than the requested  data_size .
