Receive a 16-bit Integer from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveInt16, which reads exactly two bytes as a 16-bit integer and stores the result in the ReceivedInt property. Byte order and signedness are selectable.

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 two bytes as a 16-bit integer and store the result in the ReceivedInt property.
  // The 1st argument selects byte order (true = big-endian); the 2nd selects unsigned interpretation.
  final bBigEndian = true;
  final bUnsigned = false;
  try {
    socket.receiveInt16(bBigEndian, bUnsigned);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print('Received 16-bit integer: ${socket.receivedInt}');
