BRECV(3)		    libdill Library Functions			BRECV(3)

NAME
     brecv - receives data from a bytestream socket

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <libdill.h>

	    int brecv(
		int s,
		void* buf,
		size_t len,
		int64_t deadline);

DESCRIPTION
     This function receives data from a bytestream socket.  It is a blocking op-
     eration  that unblocks only after the requested amount of data is received.
     There is no such thing as partial receive.  If a problem,	including  time-
     out,  occurs while receiving the data, an error is returned to the user and
     the socket cannot be used for receiving from that point on.

     If buf is NULL, len bytes will be received but they will be dropped  rather
     than returned to the user.

     s: The socket.

     buf: Buffer to receive the data to.

     len: Size of the buffer, in bytes.

     deadline:	A point in time when the operation should time out, in millisec-
     onds.  Use the now function to get your current point in time.  0 means im-
     mediate timeout, i.e., perform the operation if possible or return  without
     blocking  if  not.  -1 means no deadline, i.e., the call will block forever
     if the operation cannot be performed.

RETURN VALUE
     In case of success the function returns 0.  In case of error it returns  -1
     and sets errno to one of the values below.

ERRORS
     * EBADF: Invalid handle.

     * EBUSY: The handle is currently being used by a different coroutine.

     * ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.

     * ECONNRESET: Broken connection.

     * EINVAL: Invalid argument.

     * ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

     * EPIPE: Closed connection.

     * ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.

EXAMPLE
	    char msg[100];
	    int rc = brecv(s, msg, sizeof(msg), -1);
