socket_recv6(3) 	    Library Functions Manual		 socket_recv6(3)

NAME
     socket_recv6 - receive a UDP datagram

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/socket.h>

     ssize_t socket_recv6(int s, char* buf, size_t len,
	     char ip[16], uint16* port, uint32* scope_id);

DESCRIPTION
     socket_recv6  receives  up to len bytes starting at buf from a UDP datagram
     coming in on the socket s.  It writes the UDP port to port and the  IP  ad-
     dress  to	ip,  and returns the number of bytes actually received (or -1 if
     anything went wrong).

     For link-local addresses, scope_id will become the network  interface  num-
     ber,  which  can be translated into the name of the interface ("eth0") with
     socket_getifname.

RETURN VALUE
     socket_recv6 returns the number of bytes in the datagram  if  one	was  re-
     ceived.  If not, it returns -1 and sets errno appropriately.

EXAMPLE
       #include <libowfat/socket.h>

       int s;
       char ip[16];
       uint16 p;
       char buf[1000];
       int len;
       uint32 scope_id;

       s = socket_tcp4();
       socket_bind6(s,ip,p);
       len = socket_recv6(s,buf,sizeof(buf),ip,&p,&scope_id);
