Errors

EINVAL: The requested property is unknown.

Example

Receiving a multi-frame message

zmq_msg_t frame;
while (true) {
 // Create an empty ØMQ message to hold the message frame
 int rc = zmq_msg_init (&frame);
 assert (rc == 0);
 // Block until a message is available to be received from socket
 rc = zmq_msg_recv (socket, &frame, 0);
 assert (rc != -1);
 if (zmq_msg_get (&frame, ZMQ_MORE))
 fprintf (stderr, "more\n");
 else {
 fprintf (stderr, "end\n");
 break;
 }
 zmq_msg_close (&frame); }
