receivefrom()

Works exactly as the receive method, except it returns address and port as extra return values (and is therefore slightly less efficient).

Edit

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
handle	int	+	Connection handle
size	int	–	Maximum size of the datagram to be retrieved. If omitted, the maximum datagram size is used (which is currently limited by the implementation to 8192 bytes).

Edit

Type	Description
string	Received datagram
string	Sender address
string	Sender port

					local params = ...

local network = require("network")
if params.event == "network" and params.data.event_type == network.event_types.io_activity.type_name then
    if params.data.event.io_activity_type == network.event_types.io_activity.IN then
        data, address, port = network.receivefrom(params.data.event.handle)
        print("Message: " .. data)
        print("Address: " .. address)
        print("Port: " .. port)
    end
    return
end
