webSocketRead()

Tries to retrieve the next message form the WebSocket.

Synopsis

int webSocketRead(int socket, anytype|string|blob &data [, time maxTimeout])

Parameters


Parameter	Description
socket	The socket number returned by webSocketOpen().
data	Variable in which the read data is stored.
maxtimeout	The maximum timeout. It determines how long the function waits for the message. This timeout is unlimited if no value is given.

Return value

On successful retrieval of a message 0 is returned. If the socket is closed, 1 is returned. On error -1 is returned. On timeout -2 is returned.

Errors

Errors can be network errors, for which getLastError() can be used to get a more detailed error message.
