TCP Read Integer

This File I/O tool reads an integer value passed in by another computer over a TCP/IP connection.

Inputs

Socket handle

A unique socket connection identifier generated by the TCP Connect or TCP/IP Connection Accepted.

Integer byte ordering

Different machine architectures sometimes store data using different byte orders. For example, Intel-based machines store data in the reverse order of Macintosh (Motorola) machines. If you are not sure of the byte ordering of the machine sending you the integer value, leave this value at the default true.

Read timeout

The number of seconds to wait for the integer before taking the Timeout exit path.

Outputs

Integer value

The read integer value.

Exit Paths

Success

This tool takes the Success exit path if the connection is established and a value is returned.

Timeout

This tool takes the Timeout exit path if nothing was read within the number of seconds specified in the Read timeout parameter.

Failure

This tool takes the Failure exit path if the socket handle is invalid.
