I am inclined to think of receiveStr () as just a shortcut for doing socket.receive () to a roByteArray and then returning . toAsciiString () off that So I guess to read to EOL, I'll have to read byte by byte un...

I've tried to search the docs and forum but nothing is posted about this non-viewable area around the screen when you set something to 0,0 position. When I create an object and position it at 0,0, 42 pixels on the left and 22 pixels at the top are off screen. If I set the translation = [42,22] it's...

The documentation has an example of:  curl -d '' '<IP-address>:8060/search/browse?keyword=film' which just seems to yield 404s no matter what combination of query params / verbs I try (POST, GET, etc). All of the other API endpoints I've tried work fine -- I can query ap...

<Interface: ifToStr>

Yes, I can see why that is confusing. GetInterface() is defined as taking an object, so it boxes whatever is passed to it.
