SYNOPSIS
#include <nng/nng.h>
int nng_recvmsg(nng_socket s, nng_msg **msgp, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The nng_recvmsg()
receives a message on socket s, storing the
received message at the location pointed to by msgp.
Using this function gives access to the message structure, and thus may offer more functionality than the simpler nng_recv(3) function. |
The flags may contain the following value:
NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK
-
The function returns immediately, even if no message is available. Without this flag, the function will wait until a message is received by the socket s, or any configured timer expires.
The semantics of what receiving a message means vary from protocol to protocol, so examination of the protocol documentation is encouraged. (For example, with an nng_req(7) socket a message may only be received after a request has been sent, and an nng_sub(7) socket may only receive messages corresponding to topics to which it has subscribed.) Furthermore, some protocols may not support receiving data at all, such as nng_pub(7). |
RETURN VALUES
This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
ERRORS
NNG_EAGAIN
-
The socket s cannot accept data for sending.
NNG_ECLOSED
-
The socket s is not open.
NNG_EINVAL
-
An invalid set of flags was specified.
NNG_ENOMEM
-
Insufficient memory is available.
NNG_ENOTSUP
-
The protocol for socket s does not support receiving.
NNG_ESTATE
-
The socket s cannot receive data in this state.
