sock_fastread 

Syntax: 

int sock_fastread( sock_type *skType, byte *data, int len); 

Parameters: 

skType 

Current socket that will be used to receive data. 

data 

Pointer to a buffer that contains data that is received to a server. 

len 

Length of data specified to receive. 

Description: 

This function reads data to the socket being passed to the function. The function 
will not check to the data read into the socket. 

Return Value: 

Number of bytes that are read to the socket or -1 if an error occurs. 

Example: 

sock_type *socket; 

char theBuffer [512]; 

int len, bytes_receive; 

 

   . . . 

 

bytes_receive = sock_fastread(socket, (byte*)theBuffer, len);
