/**
 * @class ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg
 *
 * @brief Receiver side for the record oriented C++ wrapper for UNIX FIFOs.
 *
 * This method works slightly differently on platforms with the
 * @c ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES configuration setting than those without.
 * With ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES, the @c getmsg() system function is used
 * and it preserves message boundaries internally. Without
 * @c ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES, the message boundaries are emulated by
 * this class and ACE_FIFO_Send_Msg cooperating. The sending class
 * first writes an integer number of bytes in the message, then the
 * message. ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg reads the count, then the data.
 * The operational differences occur primarily when a message is larger
 * than what a caller of this class requests. See recv() for details.
