# fprecv

Receive data on socket

## Declaration

Source position: socketsh.inc line 162

`function fprecv(`
`s: cint;`
`buf: pointer;`
`len: size_t;`
`flags: cint`
`):ssize_t;`

## Description

fpRecv reads at most len bytes from socket S into address buf. The socket must be in a connected state. Flags can be one of the following:

1
  Process out-of band data.
4
  Bypass routing, use a direct interface.
??
  Wait for full request or report an error.

The functions returns the number of bytes actually read from the socket, or -1 if a detectable error occurred.

## Errors

Errors are reported in SocketError, and include the following:

ESockEBADF
  The socket descriptor is invalid.
ESockENOTCONN
  The socket isn't connected.
ESockENOTSOCK
  The descriptor is not a socket.
ESockEFAULT
  The address is outside your address space.
ESockEMSGSIZE
  The message cannot be sent atomically.
ESockEWOULDBLOCK
  The requested operation would block the process.
ESockENOBUFS
