/* * call-seq: * socket.recvfrom(maxlen) => [mesg, sender_sockaddr] * socket.recvfrom(maxlen, flags) => [mesg, sender_sockaddr] * * Receives up to _maxlen_ bytes from +socket+. _flags_ is zero or more * of the +MSG_+ options. The first element of the results, _mesg_, is the data * received. The second element, _sender_sockaddr_, contains protocol-specific information * on the sender. * * === Parameters * * +maxlen+ - the number of bytes to receive from the socket * * +flags+ - zero or more of the +MSG_+ options * * === Example * # In one file, start this first * require 'socket' * include Socket::Constants * socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) * sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' ) * socket.bind( sockaddr ) * socket.listen( 5 ) * client, client_sockaddr = socket.accept * data = client.recvfrom( 20 )[0].chomp * puts "I only received 20 bytes '#{data}'" * sleep 1 * socket.close * * # In another file, start this second * require 'socket' * include Socket::Constants * socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) * sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' ) * socket.connect( sockaddr ) * socket.puts "Watch this get cut short!" * socket.close * * === Unix-based Exceptions * On unix-based based systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the * call to _recvfrom_ fails: * * Errno::EAGAIN - the +socket+ file descriptor is marked as O_NONBLOCK and no * data is waiting to be received; or MSG_OOB is set and no out-of-band data * is available and either the +socket+ file descriptor is marked as * O_NONBLOCK or the +socket+ does not support blocking to wait for * out-of-band-data * * Errno::EWOULDBLOCK - see Errno::EAGAIN * * Errno::EBADF - the +socket+ is not a valid file descriptor * * Errno::ECONNRESET - a connection was forcibly closed by a peer * * Errno::EFAULT - the socket's internal buffer, address or address length * cannot be accessed or written * * Errno::EINTR - a signal interupted _recvfrom_ before any data was available * * Errno::EINVAL - the MSG_OOB flag is set and no out-of-band data is available * * Errno::EIO - an i/o error occurred while reading from or writing to the * filesystem * * Errno::ENOBUFS - insufficient resources were available in the system to * perform the operation * * Errno::ENOMEM - insufficient memory was available to fulfill the request * * Errno::ENOSR - there were insufficient STREAMS resources available to * complete the operation * * Errno::ENOTCONN - a receive is attempted on a connection-mode socket that * is not connected * * Errno::ENOTSOCK - the +socket+ does not refer to a socket * * Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the specified flags are not supported for this socket type * * Errno::ETIMEDOUT - the connection timed out during connection establishment * or due to a transmission timeout on an active connection * * === Windows Exceptions * On Windows systems the following system exceptions may be raised if * the call to _recvfrom_ fails: * * Errno::ENETDOWN - the network is down * * Errno::EFAULT - the internal buffer and from parameters on +socket+ are not * part of the user address space, or the internal fromlen parameter is * too small to accomodate the peer address * * Errno::EINTR - the (blocking) call was cancelled by an internal call to * the WinSock function WSACancelBlockingCall * * Errno::EINPROGRESS - a blocking Windows Sockets 1.1 call is in progress or * the service provider is still processing a callback function * * Errno::EINVAL - +socket+ has not been bound with a call to _bind_, or an * unknown flag was specified, or MSG_OOB was specified for a socket with * SO_OOBINLINE enabled, or (for byte stream-style sockets only) the internal * len parameter on +socket+ was zero or negative * * Errno::EISCONN - +socket+ is already connected. The call to _recvfrom_ is * not permitted with a connected socket on a socket that is connetion * oriented or connectionless. * * Errno::ENETRESET - the connection has been broken due to the keep-alive * activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress. * * Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - MSG_OOB was specified, but +socket+ is not stream-style * such as type SOCK_STREAM. OOB data is not supported in the communication * domain associated with +socket+, or +socket+ is unidirectional and * supports only send operations * * Errno::ESHUTDOWN - +socket+ has been shutdown. It is not possible to * call _recvfrom_ on a socket after _shutdown_ has been invoked. * * Errno::EWOULDBLOCK - +socket+ is marked as nonblocking and a call to * _recvfrom_ would block. * * Errno::EMSGSIZE - the message was too large to fit into the specified buffer * and was truncated. * * Errno::ETIMEDOUT - the connection has been dropped, because of a network * failure or because the system on the other end went down without * notice * * Errno::ECONNRESET - the virtual circuit was reset by the remote side * executing a hard or abortive close. The application should close the * socket; it is no longer usable. On a UDP-datagram socket this error * indicates a previous send operation resulted in an ICMP Port Unreachable * message. */ static VALUE sock_recvfrom(argc, argv, sock) int argc; VALUE *argv; VALUE sock; { return s_recvfrom(sock, argc, argv, RECV_SOCKET); }
