SOCKBINREAD Statement

SOCKBINREAD(integer-socket, integer-buffer, integer-length)

Reads binary data from a connected socket into memory.

• integer-socket — socket file descriptor.
• integer-buffer — destination memory handle/pointer (from MEMALLOC).
• integer-length — maximum number of bytes to read.

---

Examples

buf = MEMALLOC(4096)
SOCKBINREAD client, buf, 4096
REM ... process buffer ...
MEMRELEASE buf

---

Notes

• Reads up to the specified number of bytes into the buffer.
• Use SOCKSTATUS to detect disconnects.
• Pair with MEMALLOC / MEMRELEASE for buffer management.
