Linux - ioctl with FIONREAD always 0

I'm trying to get to know how many bytes there are readable at my TCP socket. I am calling ioctl with the Flag "FIONREAD" which should actually give me this value. When I call the function I get as return val 0 ( so no Error ) but also my integer argument gets the value 0. That would be no problem but when I call the recv() method I actually read some Bytes out of the socket. What am I doing wrong?

// here some Code:

char recBuffer[BUFFERLENGTH] = {0};
int bytesAv = 0;
int bytesRead = 0;
int flags = 0;
if ( ioctl (m_Socket,FIONREAD,&bytesAv) < 0 )
{
    // Error
}
if ( bytesAv < 1 )
{
    // No Data Available
}
bytesRead = recv(m_Socket,recBuffer,BUFFERLENGTH,flags);

When I call the recv function i acutally read some valid Data ( which I expected )
