zmq_msg_init(3)
ØMQ Manual - ØMQ/3.2.6
Name
zmq_msg_init - initialise empty ØMQ message
Synopsis
int zmq_msg_init (zmq_msg_t *msg);
Description
The zmq_msg_init() function shall initialise the message object referenced by msg to represent an empty message. This function is most useful when called before receiving a message with zmq_recv().
Never access zmq_msg_t members directly, instead always use the zmq_msg family of functions.
The functions zmq_msg_init(), zmq_msg_init_data() and zmq_msg_init_size() are mutually exclusive. Never initialize the same zmq_msg_t twice.
Return value
The zmq_msg_init() function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1 and set errno to one of the values defined below.
Errors
No errors are defined.
Example
Receiving a message from a socket
zmq_msg_t msg;
rc = zmq_msg_init (&msg);
assert (rc == 0);
rc = zmq_recv (socket, &msg, 0); assert (rc == 0);
