PROBE::SOCKET.RECV(3stap)

💖 PROBE::SOCKET.RECV 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Socket Tapset corner of the 3stap manuals — this one is all about the moment a socket finishes getting a message. it's giving "we're so back". 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

probe::socket.recvmsg.return — the return from a Message being received on a socket. literally the mic-drop moment after the recv. 🎤

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

probe socket.recvmsg.return {}

no args, no drama, just vibes and a probe point. 💅

---

✨ VALUES ✨

all the lil data nuggets this probe hands you, no cap:

• protocol — the Protocol value, as promised 🫶
• state — the Socket state value, i.e. what headspace the socket is in rn
• type — the Socket type value
• name — the name of this probe (hi, it's me 👋)
• flags — the Socket flags value
• size — size of the message received, in bytes 🍓 … or the error code if success = 0. yeah, it's a double agent, keep an eye on it.
• family — the Protocol family value
• success — was the receive successful? 1 = yes 🎉, 0 = no 😭

---

✨ CONTEXT ✨

the message receiver. that's them. that's the one on stage. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

this probe fires at the conclusion of receiving a message on a socket — like, right as it wraps up — via the sock_recvmsg function. so if you wanna catch the aftermath of a socket receive, this is your girl. ✨
