zmq_msg_init - initialise empty 0MQ message
Contents
Description
The zmq_msg_init() function shall initialise the message object referenced by msg to represent an empty
message. This function is most useful when called before receiving a message with zmq_msg_recv().
Caution
Never access zmq_msg_t members directly, instead always use the zmq_msg family of functions.
Caution
The functions zmq_msg_init(), zmq_msg_init_data(), zmq_msg_init_size() and zmq_msg_init_buffer() are
mutually exclusive. Never initialise the same zmq_msg_t twice.
Errors
No errors are defined.
