.SH "NAME"
zmq_msg_init \- initialise empty 0MQ message
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBint zmq_msg_init (zmq_msg_t \fR\fB\fI*msg\fR\fR\fB);\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fIzmq_msg_init()\fR function shall initialise the message object referenced by \fImsg\fR to represent an empty message\&. This function is most useful when called before receiving a message with \fIzmq_recv()\fR\&.
.if n \{\
.sp
.\}
.RS 4
.it 1 an-trap
.nr an-no-space-flag 1
.nr an-break-flag 1
.br
.ps +1
\fBCaution\fR
.ps -1
.br
.sp
Never access \fIzmq_msg_t\fR members directly, instead always use the \fIzmq_msg\fR family of functions\&.

\fBCaution\fR
.ps -1
.br
.sp
The functions \fIzmq_msg_init()\fR, \fIzmq_msg_init_data()\fR and \fIzmq_msg_init_size()\fR are mutually exclusive\&. Never initialize the same \fIzmq_msg_t\fR twice\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
The \fIzmq_msg_init()\fR function shall return zero if successful\&. Otherwise it shall return \-1 and set \fIerrno\fR to one of the values defined below\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.sp
No errors are defined\&.
.SH "EXAMPLE"
.PP
\fBReceiving a message from a socket\fR. 
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
zmq_msg_t msg;
rc = zmq_msg_init (&msg);
assert (rc == 0);
rc = zmq_recv (socket, &msg, 0);
