receive_with_blocking

Description:

public ssize_t receive_with_blocking (uint8[] buffer, bool blocking, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error

This behaves exactly the same as receive, except that the choice of blocking or non-blocking behavior is determined by the blocking argument rather than by this's properties.

Parameters:

this	a Socket
buffer	a buffer to read data into (which should be at least `buffer.length` bytes long).
blocking	whether to do blocking or non-blocking I/O
cancellable	a gcancellable or null
size	the number of bytes you want to read from the socket

Returns:

Number of bytes read, or 0 if the connection was closed by the peer, or -1 on error
