+.SH "NAME"
+zmq_sendmsg \- send a message part on a socket
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBint zmq_sendmsg (void \fR\fB\fI*socket\fR\fR\fB, zmq_msg_t \fR\fB\fI*msg\fR\fR\fB, int \fR\fB\fIflags\fR\fR\fB);\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_sendmsg()\fR function shall queue the message referenced by the \fImsg\fR argument to be sent to the socket referenced by the \fIsocket\fR argument\&. The \fIflags\fR argument is a combination of the flags defined below:
+.PP
+\fBZMQ_DONTWAIT\fR
+.RS 4
+For socket types (DEALER, PUSH) that block when there are no available peers (or all peers have full high\-water mark), specifies that the operation should be performed in non\-blocking mode\&. If the message cannot be queued on the
+\fIsocket\fR, the
+\fIzmq_sendmsg()\fR
+function shall fail with
+\fIerrno\fR
+set to EAGAIN\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBZMQ_SNDMORE\fR
+.RS 4
+Specifies that the message being sent is a multi\-part message, and that further message parts are to follow\&. Refer to the section regarding multi\-part messages below for a detailed description\&.
+.RE
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_msg_t\fR structure passed to \fIzmq_sendmsg()\fR is nullified during the call\&. If you want to send the same message to multiple sockets you have to copy it using (e\&.g\&. using \fIzmq_msg_copy()\fR)\&.

+.sp
+A successful invocation of \fIzmq_sendmsg()\fR does not indicate that the message has been transmitted to the network, only that it has been queued on the \fIsocket\fR and 0MQ has assumed responsibility for the message\&.

+.SS "Multi\-part messages"
+.sp
+A 0MQ message is composed of 1 or more message parts\&. Each message part is an independent \fIzmq_msg_t\fR in its own right\&. 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 sends multi\-part messages must use the \fIZMQ_SNDMORE\fR flag when sending each message part except the final one\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_sendmsg()\fR function shall return number of bytes in the message if successful\&. Otherwise it 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 the message cannot be sent at the moment\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBENOTSUP\fR
+.RS 4
+The
+\fIzmq_sendmsg()\fR
+operation is not supported by this socket type\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBEFSM\fR
+.RS 4
+The
+\fIzmq_sendmsg()\fR
+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
+\fImessaging patterns\fR
+section of
+\fBzmq_socket\fR(3)
+for more information\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBETERM\fR

+\fIcontext\fR
+associated with the specified
+\fIsocket\fR
+was terminated\&.

+\fBENOTSOCK\fR
+.RS 4

+\fIsocket\fR

+.PP
+\fBEINTR\fR
