NAME

       sctp_recvmsg - Receive a message from a SCTP socket.

SYNOPSIS

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

       int sctp_recvmsg(int sd, void * msg, size_t len,
                        struct sockaddr * from, socklen_t * fromlen,
                        struct sctp_sndrcvinfo * sinfo, int * msg_flags);

DESCRIPTION

       sctp_recvmsg  is  a  wrapper library function that can be used to receive a message from a
       socket while using the advanced features of SCTP.  sd is the socket  descriptor  on  which
       the message pointed to by msg of length len is received.

       If  from is not NULL, the source address of the message is filled in. The argument fromlen
       is a value-result parameter. initialized to the size of the buffer associated with from  ,
       and modified on return to indicate the actual size of the address stored.

       sinfo  is  a  pointer  to  a  sctp_sndrcvinfo  structure  to be filled upon receipt of the
       message.  msg_flags is a pointer to a integer that is filled with any message  flags  like
       MSG_NOTIFICATION or MSG_EOR.  The value of msg_flags pointer should be initialized to 0 to
       avoid unexpected behavior; msg_flags is also used as an input flags  argument  to  recvmsg
       function.

RETURN VALUE

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