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

  422. <dd>
  423. Send a message on the socket.
  424. This function is identical to sendto except for the missing destination

  468. <h3>Usage</h3>
  469. <ul>
  470. <li><strong>Warning:</strong> It is not guaranteed that all data
