Brian, if there is no data avalible, NetLibReceive call will block until at least one byte arrives. If you use Codeworrier, there is a sample program at Symbol SDK Support\Samples\S24 Sampels\NdkLib\SrcNdkLib.c A fucntion "ReadN" that read "n" byte from a descriptor. I am no sure that will help you. By the way, I am testing "telnet" from NetSample onemultor and I can't type data as soon as I login, any idea what went wrong? ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Palm Developer Forum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2000 1:58 AM Subject: NetLib: Possible to determine # of bytes avail for read? > Does anyone know if it is possible to determine the number of bytes > available to read via NetLibReceive before you make the call? > > NetLibSelect tells you that there *is* data, but not the number of bytes > ready to be read. > > It seems as though you should be able to call NetLibReceive with > flags=netIOFlagPeek to return the number of bytes that can be read, w/o > actually reading the data, but that does not seem to work.
