UDPREAD

Action

Reads data via UDP protocol.

 

 

Syntax

Result = UDPREAD( socket , var, bytes)

 

 

Remarks

Result	A byte variable that will be assigned with 0, when no errors occurred. When an error occurs, the value will be set to 1.   When there are not enough bytes in the reception buffer, the routine will wait until there is enough data or the socket is closed.
socket	The socket number you want to read data from (0-3). Or 0-7 for W5200/W5300
Var	The name of the variable that will be assigned with the data from the socket.
Bytes	The number of bytes to read.

 

Reading strings is not supported for UDP.

When you need to read a string you can use the OVERLAY option of DIM.

 

There will be no check on the length so specifying to receive 2 bytes for a byte will overwrite the memory location after the memory location of the byte.

 

W3100

The socketstat function will return a length of the number of bytes + 8 for UDP. This because UDP also includes an 8 byte header. It contains the length of the data, the IP number of the peer and the port number.

 

The UDPread function will fill the following variables with this header data:

 

Peersize, PeerAddress, PeerPort

 

These variables are dimensioned automatically when you use CONFIG TCPIP.

 

 

W5100,W5200,W5300

The peersize, peerport and peeraddress have a different order in the W5x00. To avoid mistakes, the compiler will create these variables automatic in the proper order. The NOUDP=1 option can disable this feature if you do not use UDP.

When reading UDP, you need to use the UDPREADHEADER statement to read the UDP header. After reading the header, the peersize, peerport and peeraddress variables are set.

You then should use the peersize variable to determine the number of bytes to retrieve. You must read all these bytes.
