SYNOPSIS
#include <nanomsg/nn.h>
int nn_send(int sock, const void *data, size_t size, int flags)
DESCRIPTION
The nn_send()
function creates a message containing data (of size size),
and sends using the socket sock.
This function is provided for API compatibility with legacy libnanomsg. Consider using the relevant modern API instead. |
If size has the special value NN_MSG
, then a zero-copy operation
is performed.
In this case, data points not to the message content itself, but instead
is a pointer to the pointer, an extra level of pointer indirection.
The message must have been previously allocated by
nn_allocmsg()
or
nn_recvmsg()
, using the same `NN_MSG
size.
In this case, the “ownership” of the message shall remain with
the caller, unless the function returns 0, indicating that the
function has taken responsibility for delivering or disposing of the
message.
The flags field may contain the special flag NN_DONTWAIT
.
In this case, if the socket is unable to accept more data for sending,
the operation shall not block, but instead will fail with the error EAGAIN
.
The send operation is performed asynchronously, and may not have completed before this function returns control to the caller. |
RETURN VALUES
This function returns the number of bytes sent on success, and -1 on error.
ERRORS
EAGAIN
|
The operation would block. |
EBADF
|
The socket sock is not open. |
EFSM
|
The socket cannot send in this state. |
ENOTSUP
|
This protocol cannot send. |
ETIMEDOUT
|
Operation timed out. |
