Re: Clear TCP receive buffer

That's a good idea. The documentation didn't say anything about taking a NULL pointer, but I will check the source code when I get back in the office.
For now, I've implemented a loop to read bytes until itsempty. That works, but it takes more code than I would like. I'm near the end of program memory so I try to save every byte.
Thanks Tom.

    I don't have DC 9.62 handy to check, but is it possible that sock_fastread() will accept NULL for the buffer parameter, to read from the socket without actually copying the data?

I don't see a function that will clear the receive buffer of a tcp socket in the manual. Is there one, or do I have to read bytes until the buffer goes empty? I'm using DC 9.62.
