-NAME
-----
-zmq_msg_recv - receive a message part from a socket
-
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-*int zmq_msg_recv (zmq_msg_t '*msg', void '*socket', int 'flags');*
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-The _zmq_msg_recv()_ function is identical to linkzmq:zmq_recvmsg[3], which
-shall be deprecated in future versions. _zmq_msg_recv()_ is more consistent
-with other message manipulation functions.
-
-The _zmq_msg_recv()_ function shall receive a message part from the socket
-referenced by the 'socket' argument and store it in the message referenced by
-the 'msg' argument. Any content previously stored in 'msg' shall be properly
-deallocated. If there are no message parts available on the specified 'socket'
-the _zmq_msg_recv()_ function shall block until the request can be satisfied.
-The 'flags' argument is a combination of the flags defined below:
-
-*ZMQ_DONTWAIT*::
-Specifies that the operation should be performed in non-blocking mode. If there
-are no messages available on the specified 'socket', the _zmq_msg_recv()_
-function shall fail with 'errno' set to EAGAIN.
-
-
-Multi-part messages
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-A 0MQ message is composed of 1 or more message parts. Each message
-part is an independent 'zmq_msg_t' in its own right. 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 processes multi-part messages must use the _ZMQ_RCVMORE_
-linkzmq:zmq_getsockopt[3] option after calling _zmq_msg_recv()_ to determine if
-there are further parts to receive.
-
-
-RETURN VALUE
-------------
-The _zmq_msg_recv()_ 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 no messages are available at the moment.
-*ENOTSUP*::
-The _zmq_msg_recv()_ operation is not supported by this socket type.
-*EFSM*::
-The _zmq_msg_recv()_ 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 a message was
-available.
-*EFAULT*::
-The message passed to the function was invalid.

-EXAMPLE
--------
-.Receiving a message from a socket
-----
-/* Create an empty 0MQ message */
-zmq_msg_t msg;
-int rc = zmq_msg_init (&msg);
-assert (rc == 0);
-/* Block until a message is available to be received from socket */
-rc = zmq_msg_recv (&msg, socket, 0);
-assert (rc != -1);
-/* Release message */
-zmq_msg_close (&msg);
-----
-
-.Receiving a multi-part message
-----
-int64_t more;
-size_t more_size = sizeof (more);
-do {
- /* Create an empty 0MQ message to hold the message part */
- zmq_msg_t part;
- int rc = zmq_msg_init (&part);
- assert (rc == 0);
- /* Block until a message is available to be received from socket */
- rc = zmq_msg_recv (&part, socket, 0);
- assert (rc != -1);
- /* Determine if more message parts are to follow */
- rc = zmq_getsockopt (socket, ZMQ_RCVMORE, &more, &more_size);
- assert (rc == 0);
- zmq_msg_close (&part);
-} while (more);
