Name
netconn_recv() — Wait for data
Synopsis
err_t netconn_recv
(struct netconn *conn
, struct netbuf **new_buf
);
Description
This function blocks the process while waiting for data to arrive on the
connection conn. The return value will
be ERR_OK on success. On error, for example if the
connection has been closed by the remote host, NULL is returned
in new_buf, otherwise a netbuf containing the received
data is returned in new_buf.
Example
Example 165.6. This example demonstrates usage of the netconn_recv() function
In the following code, we assume that a connection has been established
before the call to example_function().
voidexample_function(struct netconn *conn)
{
struct netbuf *buf;
err_t err;
/* receive data until the other host closes the connection */
while((err = netconn_recv(conn, buf)) == ERR_OK) {
do_something(buf);
}
/* the connection has now been closed by the other end, so we close our end */
netconn_close(conn);
