The reason for the failure can be + obtained by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`. + + +Description +----------- + +:ref:`PR_RecvFrom` receives up to a specified number of bytes from socket, +which may or may not be connected. The operation blocks until one or +more bytes are transferred, a timeout has occurred, or there is an +error. No more than ``amount`` bytes will be transferred. +:ref:`PR_RecvFrom` is usually used with a UDP socket. -- cgit v1.2.3
