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 <<nng_send#,nng_send(3)>> 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 an <<nng_pub#,nng_pub(7)>> socket the data is broadcast, so that +any peers who have a suitable subscription will be able to receive it using +<<nng_recv#,nng_recv(3)>> or a similar function.) Furthermore, some protocols +may not support sending (such as <<nng_sub#,nng_sub(7)>>) or may +require other conditions. (For example, <<nng_rep#,nng_rep(7)>> 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 implictly `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK`, such as with +<<nng_pub#,nng_pub(7)>> sockets, which are best-effort delivery only. + +== 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_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. + +== SEE ALSO + +<<nng_msg_alloc#,nng_msg_alloc(3)>>, +<<nng_recvmsg#,nng_recvmsg(3)>>, +<<nng_send#,nng_send(3)>>, +<<nng_strerror#,nng_strerror(3)>>, +<<nng#,nng(7)>> |
