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_msg_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()_,
_zmq_msg_init_size()_ and _zmq_msg_init_buffer()_ are mutually exclusive.
Never initialise the same 'zmq_msg_t' twice.
RETURN VALUE
------------
The _zmq_msg_init()_ function always returns zero.
ERRORS
------
No errors are defined.
EXAMPLE
-------
.Receiving a message from a socket
----
zmq_msg_t msg;
rc = zmq_msg_init (&msg);
assert (rc == 0);
int nbytes = zmq_msg_recv (socket, &msg, 0);
assert (nbytes != -1);
