#### basic_stream_socket::receive_buffer_size

Inherited from socket_base.

Socket option for the receive buffer size of a socket.

    typedef implementation_defined receive_buffer_size;

Implements the SOL_SOCKET/SO_RCVBUF socket option.

###### Examples

Setting the option:

    boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(io_service);
    ...
    boost::asio::socket_base::receive_buffer_size option(8192);
    socket.set_option(option);

Getting the current option value:

    boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(io_service);
    ...
    boost::asio::socket_base::receive_buffer_size option;
    socket.get_option(option);
    int size = option.value();
