-# nng_sendmsg
-
-## NAME
-
-nng_sendmsg --- send message
-
-## SYNOPSIS
-
-```
-#include <nng/nng.h>
-
-int nng_sendmsg(nng_socket s, nng_msg *msg, int flags);
-```
-
-## DESCRIPTION
-
-The `nng_sendmsg()` sends message _msg_ using the socket _s_.
-
-If the function returns zero, indicating it has accepted the message for
-delivery, then the _msg_ is owned by the socket _s_, and the caller
-must not make any further use of it.
-The socket will free the message when it is finished.
-
-If the function returns non-zero, then it is the caller's responsibility
-to dispose of the _msg_, which may include freeing it, sending it to
-another socket, or simply trying again later.
-
-TIP: Using this function gives access to the message structure, and may
-offer more functionality than the simpler xref:nng_send.3.adoc[`nng_send()`] function.
-
-NOTE: The semantics of what sending a message means vary from protocol to
-protocol, so examination of the protocol documentation is encouraged.
-(For example, with a xref:nng_pub.7.adoc[_pub_] socket the data is broadcast, so that
-any peers who have a suitable subscription will be able to receive it using
-xref:nng_recv.3.adoc[`nng_recv()`] or a similar function.)
-Furthermore, some protocols may not support sending (such as
-xref:nng_sub.7.adoc[_sub_]) or may require other conditions.
-(For example, xref:nng_rep.7.adoc[_rep_] sockets cannot normally send data, which
-are responses to requests, until they have first received a request.)
-
-The _flags_ may contain the following value:
-
-`NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK`::
- The function returns immediately, regardless of whether
- the socket is able to accept the data or not.
- If the socket is unable to accept the data (such as if backpressure exists
- because the peers are consuming messages too slowly, or no peer is present),
- then the function will return with `NNG_EAGAIN`.
- If this flag is not specified, then the function will block if such a
- condition exists.
-
-
-NOTE: Regardless of the presence or absence of `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK`, there may
-be queues between the sender and the receiver.
-Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the message has actually been delivered.
-Finally, with some protocols, the semantic is implicitly `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK`,
-such as with xref:nng_pub.7.adoc[_pub_] sockets, which are best-effort delivery only.
-
-## RETURN VALUES
-
-This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
-
-## ERRORS
-
-* `NNG_EAGAIN`: The operation would block, but `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK` was specified.
-* `NNG_ECLOSED`: The socket _s_ is not open.
-* `NNG_EINVAL`: An invalid set of _flags_ was specified.
-* `NNG_EMSGSIZE`: The value of _size_ is too large.
-* `NNG_ENOMEM`: Insufficient memory is available.
-* `NNG_ENOTSUP`: The protocol for socket _s_ does not support sending.
-* `NNG_ESTATE`: The socket _s_ cannot send data in this state.
-* `NNG_ETIMEDOUT`: The operation timed out.
