7 Gnulib module: recvfrom
9 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
12 This function has the return type @code{int} instead of @code{ssize_t}
16 On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), error codes for
17 @code{recvfrom} are not placed in @code{errno}, and
18 @code{WSAGetLastError} must be used instead.
21 Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
24 Some platforms don't have a @code{socklen_t} type; in this case this function's
25 sixth argument type is @samp{int *}.
