TCP/IP Socket Library Support for the CICS and Environment

I/O Functions

For the following I/O functions, IBM CICS TCP/IP imposes a 32768-byte limit for data transmission:
read recvfrom sendmsg write
readv recvmsg sendto writev
recv send

The library does not check to see if the 32768-byte limit is exceeded, but the underlying CICS API socket rejects the request if the limit is exceeded. The IBM interface requires the vector I/O functions readv , writev , sendmsg , and recvmsg to allocate (using malloc ) a buffer equal in size to the combined sum of the vector lengths.
