@deftypefun {ssize_t} {gnutls_record_recv} (gnutls_session_t @var{session}, void * @var{data}, size_t @var{data_size})
@var{session}: is a @code{gnutls_session_t}  type.

@var{data}: the buffer that the data will be read into

@var{data_size}: the number of requested bytes

This function has the similar semantics with @code{recv()} .  The only
difference is that it accepts a GnuTLS session, and uses different
error codes.
In the special case that the peer requests a renegotiation, the
caller will receive an error code of @code{GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE} .  In case
of a client, this message may be simply ignored, replied with an alert
@code{GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION} , or replied with a new handshake,
depending on the client's will. A server receiving this error code
can only initiate a new handshake or terminate the session.

If @code{EINTR}  is returned by the internal push function (the default
is @code{recv()} ) then @code{GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED}  will be returned.  If
@code{GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED}  or @code{GNUTLS_E_AGAIN}  is returned, you must
call this function again to get the data.  See also
@code{gnutls_record_get_direction()} .

@strong{Returns:} The number of bytes received and zero on EOF (for stream
connections).  A negative error code is returned in case of an error.  
The number of bytes received might be less than the requested  @code{data_size} .
