Notes and Warnings
“WiFiServer.h” must be included to use the class function.
WiFiServer::available
Description
Gets a client that is connected to the server and has data available for reading. The connection persists when the returned client object goes out of scope; you can close it by calling the client.stop().
Syntax
WiFiClient available(uint8_t* status = NULL);
Parameters
status: Wi-Fi availability status. Default value: NULL.
Returns
This function returns a client object; if no Client has data available for reading, this object will evaluate to false in an if-statement.

Syntax
int recv(uint8_t* buf, size_t size);
Parameters
buf: buffer to hold received byte
size: maximum size of the buffer
Returns
This function returns 1 and number of bytes received or returns -1 if no data is available.
Example Code
NA

WiFiServer::write
Description
Write data to all the clients connected to a server.
Syntax
virtual size_t write(uint8_t b);
virtual size_t write(const uint8_t *buf, size_t size);
Parameters
b: byte to be written
buf: data buffer
size: size of the data buffer
Returns
