| String | receive(Number bytes = 512, Lambda callback = null) |

If a callback is given, it detaches the receiving function from the main thread and calls the callback when it receives the answer, passing the value to the callback. |
| Void | listen(Lambda callback, Number bytes = 512, Number blocking = false) |
