       int
       sctp_generic_recvmsg(int  s,  struct  iovec  *iov, int iovlen, struct sockaddr *from, socklen_t *fromlen,
           struct sctp_sndrcvinfo *sinfo, int *msgflags);

DESCRIPTION

       sctp_generic_recvmsg() is the true system call used by the sctp_recvmsg(3) function call.  This  call  is
       more efficient since it is a true system call but it is specific to FreeBSD and can be expected not to be
       present on any other operating system.  For detailed usage please see the sctp_recvmsg(3) function call.

RETURN VALUES

       The call returns the number of bytes read on success and -1 upon failure.

ERRORS

       [EBADF]            The argument s is not a valid descriptor.

       [ENOTSOCK]         The argument s is not a socket.
