Pieter Hintjens 67e02ca8bc Use of named authors on man pages is no longer a good idea since it puts off
contributors and doesn't reflect the real process. I've taken out all named
authors and referred to the contribution policy. Hopefully this will improve
the contributions to the man pages.

zmq_msg_init(3)
===============
NAME
----
zmq_msg_init - initialise empty 0MQ 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()_.
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 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);
