RecvUDPMsg:Int32 udp_stream:Int32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
udp_stream	In	Int32	required	The stream to receive on.

Returns: The size of the message in bytes, or 0 when there was none.

Description

Receives the next UDP message, if one has arrived, and makes it readable from the stream. It waits for up to the time set by UDPTimeouts, which is 0 until you set it, so it does not wait by default. UDPMsgIP and UDPMsgPort then say who sent it. A stream receives into one buffer of 65536 bytes (the most one UDP packet can have), and a message with more than that is dropped: the result is 0 for it, as if there was none.
