zmq_recv(3)
===========
NAME
----
zmq_recv - retrieves a message from the socket
SYNOPSIS
--------
'int zmq_recv (void *s, zmq_msg_t *msg, int flags);'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Receive a message from the socket 's', store it in
'msg' . Any content previously in 'msg' will be properly deallocated. 'flags'
argument can be combination of the flags described below.
*ZMQ_NOBLOCK*::
The flag specifies that the operation should be performed in
non-blocking mode. I.e. if it cannot be processed immediately,
error should be returned with 'errno' set to EAGAIN.
RETURN VALUE
------------
In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and
sets 'errno' to the appropriate value.
ERRORS
------
*EAGAIN*::
it's a non-blocking receive and there's no message available at the moment.
*ENOTSUP*::
function isn't supported by particular socket type.
*EFSM*::
function cannot be called at the moment, because socket is not in the
appropriate state. This error may occur with sockets that switch between
several states (e.g. ZMQ_REQ).
EXAMPLE
-------
----
zmq_msg_t msg;
int rc = zmq_msg_init (&msg);
assert (rc == 0);
rc = zmq_recv (s, &msg, 0);
assert (rc == 0);
