    sending and recieveing packets with dynamic size.

    if i have a packet like so

    Code:
    struct PACKET
    {
        unsigned char command;
        unsigned short length;
        char* message;
    };
    i know how to send it, but how would i recieve it? since i dont know the size of the packet before i recv() it?

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
