+zmq_send_const(3)
+===========
+
+
+NAME
+----
+zmq_send_const - send a constant-memory message part on a socket
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*int zmq_send_const (void '*socket', void '*buf', size_t 'len', int 'flags');*
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _zmq_send_const()_ function shall queue a message created from the buffer
+referenced by the 'buf' and 'len' arguments. The message buffer is assumed
+to be constant-memory and will therefore not be copied or deallocated
+in any way. The 'flags' argument is a combination of the flags defined below:
+
+*ZMQ_DONTWAIT*::
+For socket types (DEALER, PUSH) that block when there are no available peers 
+(or all peers have full high-water mark), specifies that the operation should 
+be performed in non-blocking mode. If the message cannot be queued on the 
+'socket', the _zmq_send_const()_ function shall fail with 'errno' set to EAGAIN.
+
+*ZMQ_SNDMORE*::
+Specifies that the message being sent is a multi-part message, and that further
+message parts are to follow. Refer to the section regarding multi-part messages
+below for a detailed description.
+
+NOTE: A successful invocation of _zmq_send_const()_ does not indicate that the
+message has been transmitted to the network, only that it has been queued on
+the 'socket' and 0MQ has assumed responsibility for the message.
+
+
+Multi-part messages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A 0MQ message is composed of 1 or more message parts. 0MQ ensures atomic
+delivery of messages: peers shall receive either all _message parts_ of a
+message or none at all. The total number of message parts is unlimited except
+by available memory.
+
+An application that sends multi-part messages must use the _ZMQ_SNDMORE_ flag
+when sending each message part except the final one.
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _zmq_send_const()_ function shall return number of bytes in the message
+if successful. Otherwise it shall return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the
+values defined below.
+
+
+ERRORS
+------
+*EAGAIN*::
+Non-blocking mode was requested and the message cannot be sent at the moment.
+*ENOTSUP*::
+The _zmq_send_send()_ operation is not supported by this socket type.
+*EFSM*::
+The _zmq_send_send()_ operation cannot be performed on this socket at the moment
+due to the socket not being in the appropriate state.  This error may occur with
+socket types that switch between several states, such as ZMQ_REP.  See the
+_messaging patterns_ section of linkzmq:zmq_socket[3] for more information.
+*ETERM*::
+The 0MQ 'context' associated with the specified 'socket' was terminated.
+*ENOTSOCK*::
+The provided 'socket' was invalid.
+*EINTR*::
+The operation was interrupted by delivery of a signal before the message was
+sent.
+*EHOSTUNREACH*::
+The message cannot be routed.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+.Sending a multi-part message
+----
+/* Send a multi-part message consisting of three parts to socket */
+rc = zmq_send_const (socket, "ABC", 3, ZMQ_SNDMORE);
+assert (rc == 3);
+rc = zmq_send_send (socket, "DEFGH", 5, ZMQ_SNDMORE);
+assert (rc == 5);
+/* Final part; no more parts to follow */
+rc = zmq_send_const (socket, "JK", 2, 0);
+assert (rc == 2);
