NAME
zmq_msg_init - initialise empty 0MQ messageSYNOPSIS
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().
-
Caution
Never access zmq_msg_t members directly, instead always use the zmq_msg family of functions.
-
Caution
The functions zmq_msg_init(), zmq_msg_init_data() and zmq_msg_init_size() are mutually exclusive. Never initialise the same zmq_msg_t twice.
RETURN VALUE
The zmq_msg_init() function always returns zero.
ERRORS
EXAMPLE
Receiving a message from a socket.
-
zmq_msg_t msg; rc = zmq_msg_init (&msg); assert (rc == 0); int nbytes = zmq_recv (socket, &msg, 0); assert (nbytes != -1);
