Std.Net.receive

1 declaration

fn

receive: &Std.Net.Connection -> Int -> Result[Option[Bytes], Std.Net.NetError]

This is a callable function.

What it does

The next bytes, or nothing when the other end has closed.

Nothing is a different answer from an empty read: a reader that could not

tell them apart would stop on a slow peer or never stop on a finished one.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • & borrows a value for this call instead of moving or copying it.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Option holds Some(value) or None when no value is available.
  • Result makes success and recoverable failure part of the function's type.
