WS_RECV(3)		    libdill Library Functions		      WS_RECV(3)

NAME
     ws_recv - receives a WebSocket message

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <libdill.h>

	    ssize_t ws_recv(
		int s,
		int* flags,
		void* buf,
		size_t len,
		int64_t deadline);

DESCRIPTION
     WARNING:  This  is experimental functionality and the API may change in the
     future.

     WebSocket is a message-based protocol defined in RFC 6455.  It can be  used
     as  a  bidirectional  communication  channel  for	communication with a web
     server.

     This function receives one WebSocket message.  It is very much the same  as
     mrecv  except  that  it returns the type of the message (either text or bi-
     nary).

     s: The socket handle.

     flags: Out parameter.  Possible values are either WS_BINARYor WS_TEXT.

     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.

     This  function is not available if libdill is compiled with --disable-sock-
     ets option.

RETURN VALUE
     In case of success the function returns size of the  received  message,  in
     bytes.   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.

     * EMSGSIZE: The data won't fit into the supplied buffer.

     * ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

     * ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.

EXAMPLE
	    struct ipaddr addr;
	    ipaddr_remote(&addr, "www.example.org", 80, 0, -1);
	    int s = tcp_connect(&addr, -1);
	    s = ws_attach_client(s, "/", "www.example.org", WS_TEXT, -1);
	    ws_send(s, WS_TEXT, "Hello, world!", 13, -1);
	    int flags;
	    char buf[256];
	    ssize_t sz = ws_recv(s, &flags, buf, sizeof(buf), -1);
	    assert(flags & WS_TEXT);
	    s = ws_detach(s, -1);
	    tcp_close(s, -1);
