TCPRecv ( socket, maxlen )
Parameters
| mainsocket | The connected socket identifier (SocketID) as returned by a TCPAccept or a TCPConnect function. |
| maxlen | max # of characters to receive. |
Return Value
| Success: | Returns binary/string sent by the connected socket. |
| Failure: | Returns "" and set @error according to Windows API WSAGetError return. |
