.TH socket_recv6 3
.SH NAME
socket_recv6 \- receive a UDP datagram
.SH SYNTAX
.B #include <libowfat/socket.h>

ssize_t \fBsocket_recv6\fP(int \fIs\fR, char* \fIbuf\fR, size_t \fIlen\fR,
        char \fIip\fR[16], uint16* \fIport\fR, uint32* \fIscope_id\fR);
.SH DESCRIPTION
socket_recv6 receives up to \fIlen\fR bytes starting at \fIbuf\fR from a UDP
datagram coming in on the socket \fIs\fR.  It writes the UDP port to
\fIport\fR and the IP address to \fIip\fR, and returns the number of
bytes actually received (or -1 if anything went wrong).

For link-local addresses, \fIscope_id\fR will become the network
interface number, which can be translated into the name of the interface
("eth0") with socket_getifname.
.SH RETURN VALUE
socket_recv6 returns the number of bytes in the datagram if one was
received.  If not, it returns -1 and sets errno appropriately.
.SH EXAMPLE
  #include <libowfat/socket.h>

  int \fIs\fR;
  char \fIip\fR[16];
  uint16 \fIp\fR;
  char buf[1000];
  int len;
  uint32 scope_id;

  \fIs\fR = socket_tcp4();
  socket_bind6(s,ip,p);
  len = socket_recv6(s,buf,sizeof(buf),ip,&p,&scope_id);
