                  the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the

                  The handler to be called when the receive operation completes.
                  Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature
                  of the handler must be:

                  Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately
                  or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function.
                  Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent
                  to using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">io_service</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">post</span><span class="special">()</span></code>.

          </h6>
<p>
            The receive operation may not receive all of the requested number of
            bytes. Consider using the <a class="link" href="../../async_read.html" title="async_read"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">async_read</span></code></a> function if you need
            to ensure that the requested amount of data is received before the asynchronous
            operation completes.

<p>
            To receive into a single data buffer use the <a class="link" href="../../buffer.html" title="buffer"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">buffer</span></code></a> function as follows:
