The maximum number of bytes read is specified by the

or \0 to end reading (depending on the <parameter>type</parameter>
parameter, see below).

<function>socket_read</function> returns the data as a string on success,
or &false; on error (including if the remote host has closed the
connection). The error code can be retrieved with
<function>socket_last_error</function>. This code may be passed to
<function>socket_strerror</function> to get a textual representation of
the error.

<para>
<function>socket_read</function> returns a zero length string ("")
when there is no more data to read.
