<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>An <code>nng_msg</code> represents a single message sent between Scalability Protocols
peers.
Messages internally have a body, containing the application supplied
payload, and a header, containing protocol specific routing and similar
related information.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock tip">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-tip" title="Tip"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
Using message-oriented functions is a good way to reduce the likelihood
of data copies and improve application performance.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Messages are allocated using the <a href="nng_msg_alloc.3.html"><code>nng_msg_alloc()</code></a>
function, and are deallocated using the <a href="nng_msg_free.3.html"><code>nng_msg_free()</code></a>
function.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In addition there are other functions used to access message contents,
including adding data to either the beginning or end of the message,
automatic data conversion, and removing data from the beginning or end.
These functions are designed to try to avoid copying message contents
by making use of scratch areas at the beginning and end of the message.</p>
