NAME

       sctp_recvv - Receive a message from a SCTP socket with an extensible way.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/socket.h>
       #include <netinet/sctp.h>

       int sctp_recvv(int sd, const struct iovec * iov, int iovlen,
                      struct sockaddr * from, socklen_t * fromlen, void * info,
                      socklen_t * infolen, unsigned int * infotype, int * flags);

DESCRIPTION

       sctp_recvv  provides an extensible way for the SCTP stack to pass up different SCTP attributes associated
       with a received message to an application.  There are two types of attributes that  can  be  returned  by
       this  call:  the  attribute  of the received message and the attribute of the next message in the receive
       buffer.  The caller enables the SCTP_RECVRCVINFO and SCTP_RECVNXTINFO socket  options,  respectively,  to
       receive  these  attributes.   Attributes of the received message are returned in struct sctp_rcvinfo, and
       attributes of the next message are returned in struct sctp_nxtinfo.  If both options  are  enabled,  both
       attributes are returned using the following structure.

          struct sctp_recvv_rn {
            struct sctp_rcvinfo recvv_rcvinfo;
            struct sctp_nxtinfo recvv_nxtinfo;
          };

       sd  is  the  socket descriptor.  iov is the scatter buffer, and only one user message is returned in this
       buffer.  iovlen is the number of elements in iov.  from is a pointer to a buffer to be  filled  with  the
       sender  of  the  received  message's address.  fromlen is an in/out parameter describing the from length.
       info is a pointer to the buffer to hold the attributes of the received message,  the  structure  type  of
       info is determined by the info_type parameter.  infolen is an in/out parameter describing the size of the
       info buffer.  On return, infotype is set to the type of the info buffer, and the current  defined  values
       are as follows:

       SCTP_RECVV_NOINFO
              If  neither  SCTP_RECVRCVINFO  nor  SCTP_RECVNXTINFO  options  are  enabled,  no attribute will be
              returned.  If only the SCTP_RECVNXTINFO option is enabled but there is  no  next  message  in  the
              buffer,   no   attribute   will   be  returned.   In  these  cases,  *info_type  will  be  set  to
              SCTP_RECVV_NOINFO.

       SCTP_RECVV_RCVINFO
              The type of info is struct sctp_rcvinfo, and the attribute relates to the received message.

       SCTP_RECVV_NXTINFO
              The type of info is struct sctp_nxtinfo, and the attribute relates to  the  next  message  in  the
              receive  buffer.  This is the case when only the SCTP_RECVNXTINFO option is enabled and there is a
              next message in the buffer.

       SCTP_RECVV_RN
              The type of info is struct sctp_recvv_rn.   The  recvv_rcvinfo  field  is  the  attribute  of  the
              received  message, and the recvv_nxtinfo field is the attribute of the next message in the buffer.
              This is the case when both SCTP_RECVRCVINFO and SCTP_RECVNXTINFO options are enabled and there  is
              a next message in the receive buffer.

       flags is pointer to an integer to be filled with any message flags (e.g., MSG_NOTIFICATION).

RETURN VALUE

       On success, sctp_recvv returns the number of bytes received or -1 if an error occurred.
