HB_INETSEND()

Sent data through a socket

Syntax

      HB_INETSEND( <socket>, <cBuffer> [, <nLength> ] ) -> nResult

Arguments

<socket> a socket previously created / opened

<cBuffer>

<nLength>

Returns

The amount of data written, 0 (zero) if the socket is closed, or -1 on an error

Description

Send data being stored in a string over the socket.

The nLength parameter can be given to allow writing only a part of the string.

There is no guarantee that all of cBuffer will be sent, as this is a decision that is up to the OS; this function does not take care to ensure that the data is really sent; check the returned number and send the part that has not been sent.

To ensure that all the data is sent before the function returns, use the hb_InetSendAll() function.

On error, the error in the socket is set.
