Receive a Single Byte from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveByte, which reads exactly one byte and stores its numeric value in the ReceivedInt property. The argument selects signed or unsigned interpretation.

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  final socket = CkSocket();

  // Connect to the server using TLS.
  final bTls = true;
  final maxWaitMs = 5000;
  try {
    socket.connect('example.com', 5000, bTls, maxWaitMs);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Read exactly one byte.  Its numeric value is stored in the ReceivedInt property.  Passing true
  // interprets the byte as unsigned (0 through 255); false interprets it as signed.
  final bUnsigned = true;
  try {
    socket.receiveByte(bUnsigned);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print('Received byte value: ${socket.receivedInt}');
