  /** @name Counted send/receive methods
   *
   * The counted send/receive methods attempt to transfer a specified number
   * of bytes even if they must block and retry the operation in order to
   * transfer the entire amount. The time spent blocking for the entire
   * transfer can be limited by a specified ACE_Time_Value object which is
   * a relative time (i.e., a fixed amount of time, not an absolute time
   * of day). These methods return the count of transferred bytes, or -1
   * if an error occurs or the operation times out before the entire requested
   * amount of data has been transferred. In error or timeout situations it's
   * possible that some data was transferred before the error
   * or timeout. The @c bytes_transferred parameter is used to obtain the
   * count of bytes transferred before the error or timeout occurred. If the
   * total specified number of bytes is transferred without error, the
   * method return value should equal the value of @c bytes_transferred.
   *
   * @param buf      The buffer to write from or receive into.
   * @param iov      An I/O vector containing a specified number of
   *                 count/pointer pairs directing the data to be transferred.
   * @param iovcnt   The number of I/O vectors to be used from @a iov.
   * @param len      The number of bytes to transfer.
   * @param flags    Flags that will be passed through to the @c recv()
   *                 system call.
   * @param timeout  Indicates how long to blocking trying to transfer data.
   *                 If no timeout is supplied (timeout == 0) the method will
   *                 wait indefinitely or until an error occurs for the
   *                 specified number of bytes to be transferred.
   *                 To avoid any waiting, specify a timeout value with
   *                 0 seconds.
   * @param bytes_transferred If non-0, points to a location which receives
   *                 the total number of bytes transferred before the method
   *                 returns, even if it's less than the number requested.
   *
   * @retval      len, the complete number of bytes transferred.
   * @retval      0  EOF, i.e., the peer closed the connection.
   * @retval      -1 an error occurred before the entire amount was
   *                 transferred. Check @c errno for more information.
   *                 If the @a timeout period is reached, errno is ETIME.
   *
   * On partial transfers, i.e., if any data is transferred before
   * timeout/error/EOF, *@a bytes_transferred will contain the number of
   * bytes transferred.
