+===============
+
+
+NAME
+----
+zmq_msg_copy - copy content of a message to another message
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*int zmq_msg_copy (zmq_msg_t '*dest', zmq_msg_t '*src');*
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _zmq_msg_copy()_ function shall copy the message object referenced by 'src'
+to the message object referenced by 'dest'. The original content of 'dest', if
+any, shall be released.
+
+CAUTION: The implementation may choose not to physically copy the message
+content, rather to share the underlying buffer between 'src' and 'dest'. Avoid
+modifying message content after a message has been copied with
+_zmq_msg_copy()_, doing so can result in undefined behaviour. If what you need
+is an actual hard copy, allocate a new message using _zmq_msg_init_size()_ and
+copy the message content using _memcpy()_.
+
+CAUTION: Never access 'zmq_msg_t' members directly, instead always use the
+_zmq_msg_ family of functions.
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _zmq_msg_copy()_ function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it
+shall return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below.
+
+
+ERRORS
+------
+*EFAULT*::
+Invalid message.
