0MQ 4.3.5                                          03/31/2024                                     ZMQ_SENDMSG(3)

       The zmq_sendmsg() function shall queue the message referenced by the msg argument to be sent to the
       socket referenced by the socket argument. The flags argument is a combination of the flags defined below:

       ZMQ_DONTWAIT
           For socket types (DEALER, PUSH) that block (either with ZMQ_IMMEDIATE option set and no peer
           available, or all peers having full high-water mark), specifies that the operation should be
           performed in non-blocking mode. If the message cannot be queued on the socket, the zmq_sendmsg()
           function shall fail with errno set to EAGAIN.

       ZMQ_SNDMORE
           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.

       The zmq_msg_t structure passed to zmq_sendmsg() is nullified during the call. If you want to send the
       same message to multiple sockets you have to copy it (e.g. using zmq_msg_copy()).

           Note

           A successful invocation of zmq_sendmsg() does not indicate that the message has been transmitted to
           the network, only that it has been queued on the socket and 0MQ has assumed responsibility for the
           message.

           Note

           this API method is deprecated in favor of zmq_msg_send(3).

   Multi-partmessages
       A 0MQ message is composed of 1 or more message parts. Each message part is an independent zmq_msg_t in
       its own right. 0MQ ensures atomic delivery of messages: peers shall receive either all messageparts of a
       message or none at all. The total number of message parts is unlimited except by available memory.

       An application that sends multi-part messages must use the ZMQ_SNDMORE flag when sending each message
       part except the final one.

EAGAIN
           Non-blocking mode was requested and the message cannot be sent at the moment.

       ENOTSUP
           The zmq_sendmsg() operation is not supported by this socket type.

       EINVAL
           The sender tried to send multipart data, which the socket type does not allow.

       EFSM
           The zmq_sendmsg() 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 messagingpatterns section of zmq_socket(3) for more information.

       ETERM
           The 0MQ context associated with the specified socket was terminated.

       ENOTSOCK
           The provided socket was invalid.

       EINTR
           The operation was interrupted by delivery of a signal before the message was sent.

       EFAULT
           Invalid message.

       EHOSTUNREACH
           The message cannot be routed.

       zmq_sendmsg - send a message part on a socket

       The zmq_sendmsg() function shall return number of bytes in the message if successful. Otherwise it shall
       return -1 and set errno to one of the values defined below.
