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.

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    const socket = try chilkat.Socket.init();
    defer socket.deinit();

    // Connect to the server using TLS.
    const b_tls = true;
    const max_wait_ms = 5000;
    socket.connect("example.com", 5000, b_tls, max_wait_ms) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try socket.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        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.
    const b_unsigned = true;
    socket.receiveByte(b_unsigned) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try socket.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    std.debug.print("Received byte value: {d}\n", .{socket.getReceivedInt()});
