The argument \fIfd\fR identifies the local transport endpoint through which data will be received, \fIunitdata\fR holds information associated with the received data unit, \fIiovcount\fR contains the number of non-contiguous udata buffers which is limited to \fBT_IOV_MAX,\fR which is an implementation-defined value of at least 16, and \fIflags\fR is set on return to indicate that the complete data unit was not received. If the limit on \fIiovcount\fR is exceeded, the function fails with \fBTBADDATA\fR. The argument \fIunitdata\fR points to a \fBt_unitdata\fR structure containing the following members: .sp .in +2 .nf struct netbuf addr; struct netbuf opt; struct netbuf udata; .fi .in -2 .sp .LP The \fImaxlen\fR field of \fIaddr\fR and \fIopt\fR must be set before calling this function to indicate the maximum size of the buffer for each. The \fIudata\fR field of \fBt_unitdata\fR is not used. The \fIiov_len\fR and \fIiov_base\fR fields of "\fIiov\fR\fB0\fR" through \fIiov [iovcount-1]\fR must be set before calling \fBt_rcvvudata()\fR to define the buffer where the userdata will be placed. If the maxlen field of \fIaddr\fR or \fIopt\fR is set to zero then no information is returned in the \fIbuf\fR field for this parameter. .sp .LP On return from this call, \fIaddr\fR specifies the protocol address of the sending user, \fIopt\fR identifies options that were associated with this data unit, and \fIiov\fR\fB[0]\fR\fI\&.iov_base\fR through \fIiov [iovcount-1].iov_base\fR contains the user data that was received. The return value of \fBt_rcvvudata()\fR is the number of bytes of user data given to the user. .sp .LP Note that the limit on the total number of bytes available in all buffers passed: .sp .in +2 .nf \fIiov(0).iov_len + . . + iov(iovcount-1).iov_len\fR) .fi .in -2 .sp .LP may be constrained by implementation limits. If no other constraint applies, it will be limited by \fBINT_MAX\fR. In practice, the availability of memory to an application is likely to impose a lower limit on the amount of data that can be sent or received using scatter/gather functions. .sp .LP By default, \fBt_rcvvudata()\fR operates in synchronous mode and waits for a data unit to arrive if none is currently available. However, if \fBO_NONBLOCK\fR is set by means of \fBt_open\fR(3NSL) or \fBfcntl\fR(2), \fBt_rcvvudata()\fR executes in asynchronous mode and fails if no data units are available. .sp .LP If the buffers defined in the \fIiov[]\fR array are not large enough to hold the current data unit, the buffers will be filled and \fBT_MORE\fR will be set in flags on return to indicate that another \fBt_rcvvudata()\fR should be called to retrieve the rest of the data unit. Subsequent calls to \fBt_rcvvudata()\fR will return zero for the length of the address and options, until the full data unit has been received. .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .LP On successful completion, \fBt_rcvvudata()\fR returns the number of bytes received. Otherwise, it returns -1 on failure and \fBt_errno\fR is set to indicate the error. .SH VALID STATES .sp .LP \fBT_IDLE\fR. .SH ERRORS .sp .LP On failure, \fBt_errno\fR is set to one of the following: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTBADDATA\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n \fIiovcount\fR is greater than \fBT_IOV_MAX.\fR .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTBADF\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n The specified file descriptor does not refer to a transport endpoint. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTBUFOVFLW\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n The number of bytes allocated for the incoming protocol address or options (\fImaxlen\fR) is greater than \fB0\fR but not sufficient to store the information. The unit data information to be returned in \fIunitdata\fR will be discarded. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTLOOK\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n An asynchronous event has occurred on this transport endpoint and requires immediate attention. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTNODATA\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n \fBO_NONBLOCK\fR was set, but no data units are currently available from the transport provider. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTNOTSUPPORT\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n This function is not supported by the underlying transport provider. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTOUTSTATE\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n The communications endpoint referenced by \fIfd\fR is not in one of the states in which a call to this function is valid. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTPROTO\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n This error indicates that a communication problem has been detected between XTI and the transport provider for which there is no other suitable XTI error \fB(t_errno)\fR. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTSYSERR\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n A system error has occurred during execution of this function. .RE .SH TLI COMPATIBILITY .sp .LP In the \fBTLI\fR interface definition, no counterpart of this routine was defined. .SH ATTRIBUTES .sp .LP See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS box; c | c l | l .
