recv returning WSAEOPNOTSUPP error

[axr0284]

Hi,
I would like to use tcp connection to get some data from a client. I tried to use the following:
bytesReceived = recv(client,&CODE,1,MSG_WAITALL);

I figured that the recv will wait until it gets 1 byte before falling through but instead I get the error WSAEOPNOTSUPP. I looked at the msdn website and it seems that MSG_WAITALL would not work for non-blocking function but I thought that recv was a blocking function so what gives. Thanks for the help,
Amish

Try this:

bytesReceived = recv(client,&CODE,1,0);

The socket will be in blocking mode, when you created it with the socket() function and did not call WSAAsyncSelect(), WSAEventSelect() on it or used ioctlsocket() to set it to nonblocking.

Here is the whole code. I never call WSAAsyncSelect(), WSAEventSelect() on it or used ioctlsocket() so it has to be in blocking mode. Yet I still get the error. As for using 0 instead of MSG_WAITALL, it works but it returns for every byte it gets instead of chunks of bytes:

cout << "Starting up TCP server\r\n";

    int numBytesToReceive = 0;
	int bytesReceived = 0;
	char CODE = 0x00;
	char CRC[4];
	char fileSize[3];
	int counter = 0;
	char data;
	int error = 0;

    SOCKET server;/*Server side connection point of link*/
    
    WSADATA wsaData;/*The data obtained from calling the winsock startup routine*/

    sockaddr_in server_add; /*A structure that will contain the information of the server socket*/

    int wsaret=WSAStartup(0x101,&wsaData);/*Initialize winsock*/

    //WSAStartup returns zero on success.
    //If it fails we exit.
    if(wsaret!=0)
    {
        return -1;
    }

	 //the socket function creates our SOCKET
    server=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP);

    //If the socket() function fails we exit
    if(server==INVALID_SOCKET)
    {
        return -1;
    }

    //Now we populate the sockaddr_in structure
    server_add.sin_addr.s_addr=INADDR_ANY; //Wild card IP address
	server_add.sin_family=AF_INET; //Address family

    //bind links the socket we just created with the sockaddr_in 
    //structure. Basically it connects the socket with

    //connections from clients. The second arg is the backlog
    if(listen(server,10)!=0)

    }

    //we will need variables to hold the client socket.
    //thus we declare them here.

					bytesReceived = recv(client,fileSize,3,0); // Receive file size

        //close the client socket
        closesocket(client);

    }

    //closesocket() closes the socket and releases the socket descriptor
    closesocket(server);

    //originally this function probably had some use
    //currently this is just for backward compatibility
    //but it is safer to call it as I still believe some
    //implementations use this to terminate use of WS2_32.DLL 
    WSACleanup();
