.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBsctp_recvmsg()\fR function receives a message from the SCTP endpoint
\fIs\fR.
.sp
.LP
In addition to specifying the message buffer \fImsg\fR and the length \fIlen\fR
of the buffer, the following parameters can be set:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIfrom\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 13n
Pointer to an address, filled in with the sender's address
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIfromlen\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 13n
Size of the buffer associated with the \fIfrom\fR parameter
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIsinfo\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 13n
Pointer to an \fBsctp_sndrcvinfo\fR structure, filled in upon the receipt of
the message
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fImsg_flags\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 13n
Message flags such as \fBMSG_CTRUNC\fR, \fBMSG_NOTIFICATION\fR, \fBMSG_EOR\fR
.RE

.sp
.LP
The \fIsinfo\fR parameter is filled in only when the caller has enabled
\fBsctp_data_io_events\fR by calling \fBsetsockopt()\fR with the socket option
\fBSCTP_EVENTS\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, the \fBsctp_recvmsg()\fR function returns the
number of bytes received. The function returns \fB-1\fR if an error occurs.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
The \fBsctp_recvmsg()\fR function fails under the following conditions.
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBEBADF\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 14n
The \fIs\fR argument is an invalid file descriptor.
.RE

.sp

\fB\fBENOTSOCK\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 14n
The \fIs\fR argument is not a socket.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBEOPNOTSUPP\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 14n
\fBMSG_OOB\fR is set as a flag.
