NAME

6       gnutls_record_recv - reads data from the TLS record protocol
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
10
11       ssize_t   gnutls_record_recv(gnutls_session_t  session,  void  *  data,
12       size_t sizeofdata);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_session_t session
16                   is a gnutls_session_t structure.
17
18       void * data the buffer that the data will be read into
19
20       size_t sizeofdata
21                   the number of requested bytes
22

DESCRIPTION

24       This function has the similar semantics with recv().  The only  differ‐
25       ence  is  that  it  accepts  a GnuTLS session, and uses different error
26       codes.
27
28       In the special case that a server requests a renegotiation, the  client
29       may receive an error code of GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE.  This message may be
30       simply ignored, replied with  an  alert  GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION,  or
31       replied with a new handshake, depending on the client's will.
32
33       If  EINTR  is  returned  by  the internal push function (the default is
34       recv()) then GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED will be returned.  If GNUTLS_E_INTER‐
35       RUPTED or GNUTLS_E_AGAIN is returned, you must call this function again
36       to get the data.  See also gnutls_record_get_direction().
37
38       A server may also receive GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE when a client has initi‐
39       ated a handshake. In that case the server can only initiate a handshake
40       or terminate the connection.
41

RETURNS

43       the number of bytes received and zero on EOF.  A negative error code is
44       returned  in  case  of an error.  The number of bytes received might be
45       less than sizeofdata.
