41 This function is used to asynchronously receive data from the stream
42 socket. The function call always returns immediately.

53 One or more buffers into which the data will be received. Although
54 the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the
55 underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must
56 guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.
58 <dt><span class="term">handler</span></dt>
61 The handler to be called when the receive operation completes.
62 Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature
63 of the handler must be:
65 <pre class="programlisting">void handler(
66 const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
67 std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes received.
71 Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
72 or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function.
73 On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed
74 in a manner equivalent to using <a class="link" href="../../post.html" title="post"><code class="computeroutput">post</code></a>.

84 The receive operation may not receive all of the requested number of
85 bytes. Consider using the <a class="link" href="../../async_read.html" title="async_read"><code class="computeroutput">async_read</code></a>
86 function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is received
87 before the asynchronous operation completes.

102 go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.
