- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: Receives up to <em>maxlen</em> bytes from <tt>socket</tt> using recvfrom(2) after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. <em>flags</em> is zero or more of the <tt>MSG_</tt> options. The first element of the results, <em>mesg</em>, is the data received. The second element, <em>sender_sockaddr</em>, contains protocol-specific information on the sender.
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: "When recvfrom(2) returns 0, Socket#recvfrom_nonblock returns an empty string as data. The meaning depends on the socket: EOF on TCP, empty packet on UDP, etc."

- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: Refer to Socket#recvfrom for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to <em>recvfrom_nonblock</em> fails.
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: Socket#recvfrom_nonblock may raise any error corresponding to recvfrom(2) failure, including Errno::EAGAIN.
