NAME

       Sockets::recv - Receive text data from a socket

SYNOPSIS

       String recv( Socket s, Int maxlen=-1, Int timeout=1000000 )

ARGUMENTS

       s The socket

       maxlen  The maximum number of bytes to receive. This must be a positive integer (the default is 1024), or
       -1 for no limit. Note that if the data to be received contains multi-byte characters, care must be  taken
       to avoid ending receiving part-way through a multi-byte character.

       -1 can be used to wait until data arrives.
