Confirming everyone here with two links:

1. https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/36eef63a9cf8ae609716d76ccb3906ff9769d53a/include/boost/asio/basic_stream_socket.hpp#L558
2. https://github.com/boostorg/asio/blob/36eef63a9cf8ae609716d76ccb3906ff9769d53a/include/boost/asio/basic_stream_socket.hpp#L834

The code is exactly the same. However async_receive has one overload with message_flags, which notably allows you to specify asio::socket_base::message_peek.
