NAME

       gnutls_record_recv - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       ssize_t gnutls_record_recv(gnutls_session_t session, void * data, size_t data_size);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       void * data the buffer that the data will be read into

       size_t data_size
                   the number of requested bytes

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  has  the  similar  semantics  with recv().  The only difference is that it
       accepts a GnuTLS session, and uses different error codes.  In the special  case  that  the
       peer   requests   a   renegotiation,   the   caller   will   receive   an  error  code  of
       GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE.  In case of a client, this message may be  simply  ignored,  replied
       with an alert GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION, or replied with a new handshake, depending on the
       client's will. A server receiving this error code can only initiate  a  new  handshake  or
       terminate the session.

       If  EINTR  is  returned  by  the  internal  push  function  (the  default  is recv()) then
       GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED will be  returned.   If  GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED  or  GNUTLS_E_AGAIN  is
       returned,   you   must   call   this   function   again   to   get  the  data.   See  also
       gnutls_record_get_direction().

RETURNS

       The number of bytes received and zero on EOF (for stream connections).  A  negative  error
       code is returned in case of an error.  The number of bytes received might be less than the
       requested  data_size .
