Boost C++ Libraries

Inherited from socket_base.

Socket option for the receive buffer size of a socket.

typedef implementation_defined receive_buffer_size;

Implements the SOL_SOCKET/SO_RCVBUF socket option.

Examples

Setting the option:

boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(io_service);
...
boost::asio::socket_base::receive_buffer_size option(8192);
socket.set_option(option);

Getting the current option value:

boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(io_service);
...
boost::asio::socket_base::receive_buffer_size option;
socket.get_option(option);
int size = option.value();

Header: boost/asio/basic_seq_packet_socket.hpp

Convenience header: boost/asio.hpp
