== NAME

nng_msg_header - return message header

== SYNOPSIS

[source, c]
-----------
#include <nng/nng.h>

void *nng_msg_header(nng_msg *msg);
-----------

== DESCRIPTION

The `nng_msg_header()` function returns a pointer to the start of the header
content of the message _msg_.

NOTE: The message header contains protocol-specific header content.  Most
applications should not need to access this content, but it is available
for raw mode sockets (set with the `NNG_OPT_RAW` option -- see
<<nng_setopt#,nng_setopt(3)>> for more details.)

NOTE: The value returned by this is invalidated by a call to any of the
functions that modify the message or the header content.

== RETURN VALUES

Pointer to start of message header.

== ERRORS

None.
