  407. <h3>Usage</h3>
  408. <ul>
  409. <li><strong>Warning:</strong> It is not guaranteed that all requested data
  410. is read at once.
  411. You have to check the return value - the length of the buffer actually read -
  412. or use the safe IO functions in the high-level IO utility module.
  413. <li>The length of the return buffer is limited by the (compile time)
  414. nixio buffersize which is <em>nixio.const.buffersize</em> (8192 by default).
  415. Any read request greater than that will be safely truncated to this value.
  416. </ul>

  425. <dd>
  426. Send a message on the socket.
  427. This function is identical to sendto except for the missing destination

  471. <h3>Usage</h3>
  472. <ul>
  473. <li><strong>Warning:</strong> It is not guaranteed that all data
  474. in the buffer is written at once.
  475. You have to check the return value - the number of bytes actually written -
