+== NAME
+
+nng_msg_get_pipe - get pipe for message
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+----
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+nng_pipe nng_msg_get_pipe(nng_msg *msg);
+----
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_msg_get_pipe()` returns the <<nng_pipe.5#,`nng_pipe`>> object
+associated with message _msg_.
+On receive, this is the pipe from which a message was received.
+On transmit, this would be the pipe that the message should be delivered
+to, if a specific peer is required.
+
+NOTE: Not all protocols support overriding the destination pipe.
+
+The most usual use case for this is to obtain information about the peer
+from which the message was received.
+This can be used to provide different behaviors for different peers, such as
+a higher level of authentication for peers located on an untrusted network.
+The <<nng_pipe_getopt.3#,`nng_pipe_getopt()`>> function
+is useful in this situation.
+
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+This function returns the pipe associated with this message, which will
+be a positive value.
+If the pipe is non-positive, then that indicates that
+no specific pipe is associated with the messsage.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+None.
