basic_raw_socket::async_receive_from (2 of 2 overloads)

Start an asynchronous receive.

template<
    typename MutableBufferSequence,
    typename ReadHandler>
DEDUCED async_receive_from(
    const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
    endpoint_type & sender_endpoint,
    socket_base::message_flags flags,
    ReadHandler && handler);

This function is used to asynchronously receive raw data. The function call always returns immediately.

Parameters

buffers

One or more buffers into which the data will be received. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.

sender_endpoint

An endpoint object that receives the endpoint of the remote sender of the data. Ownership of the sender_endpoint object is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it is valid until the handler is called.

flags

Flags specifying how the receive call is to be made.

handler

The handler to be called when the receive operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be:

void handler(
  const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
  std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes received.
);

Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using asio::io_context::post().
