Any bytes exceeding the length specified by the \fIlen\fR argument shall be truncated\&.

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\&.

Note that the value can exceed the value of the \fIlen\fR parameter in case the message was truncated\&.
