recv() problem
in i simple program that use sockets how can i know if the recv() function has received all data ???
better:
if the client send a message but the send not send all data and then the client must call another time the send() function to be sure that all data will be send; how i can know if recv function is correct(receive all data)??
P.S. my english is very bad, sorry.
You can't use recv() to do that.
Either use a length indicator at the start of the data, or a end of data marker (like \0 or \n).
Read here too.
Eh, the link is actually:

ok i understand, but if i'm sending a binary file ?? it's a problem to put a terminator character...
don't think??
yes but i would to use non blocking socket and in this way the recv is blocking (or similat to blocking socket).....
The recv() will block whilst it is waiting for data. Once it has received some, it will return and your program continues. If all the data has been received is up to you to determine.Originally posted by Massive

TCP/IP is a stream based protocol, meaning you get the data in whatever sized chunks the OS feels like giving them to you.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
