<para>
The function <function>stream_socket_recvfrom</function> accepts
data from a remote socket up to <parameter>length</parameter> bytes.
If <parameter>address</parameter> is provided it will be populated with
the address of the remote socket.
</para>
<para>
The value of <parameter>flags</parameter> can be any combination
of the following:
<table>
<title>possible values for <parameter>flags</parameter></title>
<tgroup cols="2">
<tbody>
<row>
<entry><constant>STREAM_OOB</constant></entry>
<entry>
Process OOB (out-of-band) data.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry><constant>STREAM_PEEK</constant></entry>
<entry>
Retrieve data from the socket, but do not consume the buffer.
Subsequent calls to <function>fread</function> or
<function>stream_socket_recvfrom</function> will see
the same data.
</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>

<note>
<para>
If a message received is longer than the <parameter>length</parameter>
parameter, excess bytes may be discarded depending on the type of socket
the message is received from (such as UDP).
