.SH "NAME"
zmq_recvmsg \- receive a message part from a socket
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBint zmq_recvmsg (void \fR\fB\fI*socket\fR\fR\fB, zmq_msg_t \fR\fB\fI*msg\fR\fR\fB, int \fR\fB\fIflags\fR\fR\fB);\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fIzmq_recvmsg()\fR function shall receive a message part from the socket referenced by the \fIsocket\fR argument and store it in the message referenced by the \fImsg\fR argument\&. Any content previously stored in \fImsg\fR shall be properly deallocated\&. If there are no message parts available on the specified \fIsocket\fR the \fIzmq_recvmsg()\fR function shall block until the request can be satisfied\&. The \fIflags\fR argument is a combination of the flags defined below:
.PP
\fBZMQ_DONTWAIT\fR
.RS 4
Specifies that the operation should be performed in non\-blocking mode\&. If there are no messages available on the specified
\fIsocket\fR, the
\fIzmq_recvmsg()\fR
function shall fail with
\fIerrno\fR
set to EAGAIN\&.

.sp
this API method is deprecated in favor of zmq_msg_recv(3)\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
.SS "Multi\-part messages"
.sp
A 0MQ message is composed of 1 or more message parts\&. Each message part is an independent \fIzmq_msg_t\fR in its own right\&. 0MQ ensures atomic delivery of messages: peers shall receive either all \fImessage parts\fR of a message or none at all\&. The total number of message parts is unlimited except by available memory\&.
.sp
An application that processes multi\-part messages must use the \fIZMQ_RCVMORE\fR \fBzmq_getsockopt\fR(3) option after calling \fIzmq_recvmsg()\fR to determine if there are further parts to receive\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
The \fIzmq_recvmsg()\fR function shall return number of bytes in the message if successful\&. Otherwise it shall return \-1 and set \fIerrno\fR to one of the values defined below\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.PP
\fBEAGAIN\fR
.RS 4
Non\-blocking mode was requested and no messages are available at the moment\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBENOTSUP\fR
.RS 4
The
\fIzmq_recvmsg()\fR
operation is not supported by this socket type\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBEFSM\fR
.RS 4
The
\fIzmq_recvmsg()\fR
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
\fImessaging patterns\fR
section of
\fBzmq_socket\fR(3)
for more information\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBETERM\fR
.RS 4
The 0MQ
\fIcontext\fR
associated with the specified
\fIsocket\fR
was terminated\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBENOTSOCK\fR
.RS 4
The provided
\fIsocket\fR
was invalid\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBEINTR\fR
.RS 4
The operation was interrupted by delivery of a signal before a message was available\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBEFAULT\fR
.RS 4
The message passed to the function was invalid\&.
