# Net.microRecv(3kaya)

Recieve data from a connection.

## NAME

Net::microRecv - Recieve data from a connection.

## SYNOPSIS

**String microRecv(** *NetHandle h, Int maxlen=-1, Int microtimeout=0* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

**h** The connection

**maxlen** The maximum number of bytes to read (or unlimited, if negative). For TLS connections, this is always unlimited.

**timeout** The number of microseconds to wait without input before timing out. The default is zero. For TLS connections, this parameter is ignored.

## DESCRIPTION

Reads up to *maxlen* bytes from the connection, and times out after *timeout* microseconds. Apart from the units the timeout is measured in, this is otherwise identical to **Net.recv (3kaya)**
