error compiling with read function

[Shlomy Shivek]

Hi,
I have this thread function:
//handle one socket connection thread
DWORD WINAPI SocketHandler(L PVOID lpvParam)
{
int socketNumber=*( DWORD*)lpvParam ; //the socket number
int n;
char end_connection[]={"$Exit$\n"} ; //end connection message
char buffer[BUFSIZE];

n = read(socketNumb er,buffer,BUFSI ZE);
if (n < 0) //error reading
exit(1); //exit thread

while(strcmp(bu ffer,end_connec tion)) //until end connection has
reached
Message* x=new Message(buffer) ;

return 0;
}

for some reason I get the following error :
error C3861: 'read': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent
lookup

this happens using vs.net 2003 enviroment for win32 console
application.
I have the following declerations at the top of the file:
#include <iostream>
#include <winsock.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include "Message.h"
#include "MessageQueue.h "

using namespace std;
#pragma comment(lib, "ws2_32.lib ")

Any idea what the problem might be ?

This question is off-topic here since it doesn't deal with the standard
language or libraries proper. See the FAQ for what is on-topic and for
some suggestions of better places to post:

Well, all I can tell you is the same as the compiler.

read is not declared.

Read the API for your library, or ask in a more appropriate place.
Presumably you have the wrong argument types, or have not included the
correct header.

I beleive you want recv, not read.

That is right, thanks!
