Title: blocking mode of recveive function
Post by: hammad khan on September 14, 2013, 09:31:50 pm
Status sf::TcpSocket::receive    (    void *     data,  std::size_t     size,   std::size_t &  received )

Receive raw data from the remote peer.

In blocking mode, this function will wait until some bytes are actually received. This function will fail if the socket is not connected.

what does blocking mode mean, and how i can use this function without blocking mode?

In blocking mode, the function don't return until some data have been received. In other word, the function blocks the execution.
