IR len . -.PP -The -.I h -parameter is a context handle which must previously have been returned -successfully from a call to -.BR ipq_create_handle . -.PP -The caller is responsible for ensuring that the memory pointed to by -.I buf -is large enough to contain -.I len -bytes. -.PP -The -.I timeout -parameter may be used to set a timeout for the operation, specified in microseconds. -This is implemented internally by the library via the -.BR select -system call. A value of zero provides normal, backwards-compatible blocking behaviour -with no timeout. A negative value causes the function to return immediately. -.PP -Data returned via -.I buf -should not be accessed directly. Use the -.BR ipq_message_type , -.BR ipq_get_packet ", and" -.BR ipq_get_msgerr -functions to access the queue message in the buffer. -.SH RETURN VALUE -On failure, -1 is returned. -.br -On success, a non-zero positive value is returned when no timeout -value is specified. -.br -On success with a timeout value specified, zero is returned if no data -was available to read, or if a non-blocked signal was caught. In the -latter case, the global -.B errno -value will be set to -.BR EINTR . -.SH ERRORS -On error, a descriptive error message will be available -via the -.B ipq_errstr -function. -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -While the -.B ipq_read -function may return successfully, the queue message copied to the buffer -may itself be an error message from a higher level kernel component. Use -.B ipq_message_type -to determine if it is an error message, and -.B ipq_get_msgerr -to access the value of the message. -.SH BUGS -None known. -.SH AUTHOR -James Morris -.SH COPYRIGHT -Copyright (c) 2000-2001 Netfilter Core Team. -.PP -Distributed under the GNU General Public License. -.SH CREDITS -Joost Remijn implemented the timeout feature, which appeared in the 1.2.4 release of iptables. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR iptables (8), -.BR libipq (3), -.BR select (2). -
