Declaration [src]
GBytes*
g_socket_receive_bytes (
  GSocket* socket,
  gsize size,
  gint64 timeout_us,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GError** error
)
Description [src]
Receives data (up to size bytes) from a socket.
This function is a variant of g_socket_receive() which returns a
GBytes rather than a plain buffer.
Pass -1 to timeout_us to block indefinitely until data is received (or
the connection is closed, or there is an error). Pass 0 to use the default
timeout from GSocket:timeout, or pass a positive number to wait
for that many microseconds for data before returning G_IO_ERROR_TIMED_OUT.
Available since: 2.80
Parameters
- size
- 
            Type: gsizeThe number of bytes you want to read from the socket. 
- timeout_us
- 
            Type: gint64The timeout to wait for, in microseconds, or -1to block indefinitely.
- cancellable
- 
            Type: GCancellableA %GCancellable, or NULL.The argument can be NULL.The data is owned by the caller of the method. 
- error
- 
            Type: GError **The return location for a recoverable error. The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will be left initialized to NULLby the method if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
Return value
Type: GBytes
A bytes buffer containing the
  received bytes, or NULL on error.
| The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it. |
