Any bytes exceeding the length specified by the \fIlen\fR argument shall be truncated\&. If there are no messages available on the specified \fIsocket\fR the \fIzmq_recv()\fR function shall block until the request can be satisfied\&. The \fIflags\fR argument is a combination of the flags defined below: +.PP +\fBZMQ_DONTWAIT\fR +.RS 4 +Specifies that the operation should be performed in non\-blocking mode\&. If there are no messages available on the specified +\fIsocket\fR, the +\fIzmq_recv()\fR +function shall fail with +\fIerrno\fR +set to EAGAIN\&. +.RE +.SS "Multi\-part messages" +.sp +A 0MQ message is composed of 1 or more message parts\&. 0MQ ensures atomic delivery of messages: peers shall receive either all \fImessage parts\fR of a message or none at all\&. The total number of message parts is unlimited except by available memory\&. +.sp +An application that processes multi\-part messages must use the \fIZMQ_RCVMORE\fR \fBzmq_getsockopt\fR(3) option after calling \fIzmq_recv()\fR to determine if there are further parts to receive\&. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +.sp +The \fIzmq_recv()\fR function shall return number of bytes in the message if successful\&. Note that the value can exceed the value of the \fIlen\fR parameter in case the message was truncated\&. If not successful the function shall return \-1 and set \fIerrno\fR to one of the values defined below\&. +.SH "ERRORS" +.PP +\fBEAGAIN\fR +.RS 4 +Non\-blocking mode was requested and no messages are available at the moment\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBENOTSUP\fR +.RS 4 +The +\fIzmq_recv()\fR +operation is not supported by this socket type\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBEFSM\fR +.RS 4 +The +\fIzmq_recv()\fR +operation cannot be performed on this socket at the moment due to the socket not being in the appropriate state\&.
