Receive a Block of Bytes to a File

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveBytesToFile, which receives one available block of bytes and appends it to a file.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

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;
    };

    // The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
    // may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

    // Receive one available block of bytes and append it to a file.  If bytes are already buffered,
    // they are used first; otherwise a single receive operation is performed.
    socket.receiveBytesToFile("qa_output/received.dat") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try socket.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    std.debug.print("Received block appended to the file.\n", .{});
