TCPSocket

Description

If enabled, this event is reported when data is received by a TCPSocket object.

You may not disable or nullify the operation by setting the action code for the event to ¯1 or by returning 0 from a callback function. You may also not call TCPRecv as a method or generate this event artificially using ⎕NQ.

The event message reported as the result of ⎕DQ, or supplied as the right argument to your callback function, is a 5-element vector as follows :

[1]	Object	ref or character vector
[2]	Event	'TCPRecv' or 373
[3]	Data	the data received
[4]	IP address	character vector
[5]	Port number	integer

Elements [4-5] refer to the IP address and port number of the remote process that sent the data.

If the SocketType is 'Stream', this information will be identical to the values of the RemoteAddr and RemotePort respectively.

If the SocketType is 'UDP' and there is potentially more than one partner sending you data, the IP address and port number information provided by the TCPRecv event is more reliable than the current values of RemoteAddr and RemotePort as these may already have changed.
