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.

       timeout The time to wait for data  in  microseconds  before  giving  up  (the  default  is
       1000000, or 1 second). -1 can be used to wait until data arrives.

DESCRIPTION
