+== NAME
+
+nn_recv - receive data (compatible API)
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+----
+#include <nanomsg/nn.h>
+
+int nn_recv(int sock, void *data, size_t size, int flags)
+----
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nn_recv()` function receives a message from the socket _sock_.
+The message body must fit within _size_ bytes, and will be stored
+at the location specified by _data_, unless _size_ is the
+special value `NN_MSG`, indicating a zero-copy operation.
+
+NOTE: This function is provided for API
+xref:nng_compat.3compat.adoc[compatibility] with legacy _libnanomsg_.
+Consider using the relevant xref:libnng.3.adoc[modern API] instead.
+
+If _size_ has the special value `NN_MSG`, then a zero-copy operation
+is performed.
+In this case, instead of copying the message data into the address
+specified by _data_, a new message large enough to hold the message data
+will be allocated (as if by the
+function xref:nn_allocmsg.3compat.adoc[`nn_allocmsg()`]), and the message
+payload will be stored accordingly.
+In this case, the value stored at _data_ will not be message data,
+but a pointer to the message itself.
+In this case, on success, the caller shall take responsibility for
+the final disposition of the message (such as by sending it to
+another peer using xref:nn_send.3compat.adoc[`nn_send()`]) or
+xref:nn_freemsg.3compat.adoc[`nn_freemsg()`].
+
+The _flags_ field may contain the special flag `NN_DONTWAIT`.
+In this case, if the no message is available for immediate receipt,
+the operation shall not block, but instead will fail with the error `EAGAIN`.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+This function returns the number of bytes sent on success, and -1 on error.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+[horizontal]
+`EAGAIN`:: The operation would block.
+`EBADF`:: The socket _sock_ is not open.
+`EFSM`:: The socket cannot receive in this state.
+`ENOTSUP`:: This protocol cannot receive.
+`ETIMEDOUT`:: Operation timed out.
